Ready to make some real progress writing and publishing your books? Want to learn the secrets to saving time and money along the way?

Deciding to turn your love of writing books into a career is a big decision. Congratulations! Whether you’re making a career change or choosing "author" as your first career, you’ll find advice you can use on your path to becoming the successful author you dream of.

This is not a book about how to sell a million copies or make a million dollars. I’ve done neither. It’s also not about how to generate additional income streams from your books such as courses or speaking engagements.

Instead, I’ll teach you how to set up your business as a traditional or self-published author. You’ll learn important considerations for your first years as an author including:

• Deciding what being a prosperous authorpreneur means to you,
• Limiting your focus to increase your productivity,
• Taming your finances so you can afford publishing services like editing and cover design,
• Creating an author business plan, and
• Understanding tax information specific to authors.

In my career change from accountant to author, I made many costly mistakes. I hope in sharing these mistakes, and what I’ve learned from them, you will avoid making these same mistakes.

You can be a prosperous authorpreneur!
