Internet Book Watch
In Writing Nonfiction: Turning Thoughts Into Books, veteran writer and publisher Dan Poynter surveys the modern technology that enables anyone to write, produce, sell and promote books faster, easier, cheaper, and in more formats than at any time in the recorded history of writing and publishing. Poynter shows aspiring authors how to "build" their books, rather than just write them. He explains how to "publish" a book in a downloadable, CD, and ebook version; how to obtain maximum value from a book through audiotape, videotape, magazine excerpts, foreign-language editions, and more. Writing Nonfiction is an ideal, very highly recommended "how to" instruction guide and an invaluable reference for the self-published author, small press publisher, and completely accessible for the non-specialist general reader who aspires to become a commercially successful author of nonfiction books.
