KEE’S THOUGHTS:
BRING YOUR BOOK TO LIFE by J.L. Ford
Writing has always been a hobby of mine, and I believe that everyone has a story to share. Everyone has something unique in their life that can help others. I’ve never contemplated writing as a full time career. However, my family and friends tell me daily that I should write a book. I began to research self-publishing vs. publishing companies. I ended up joining twitter and one of my first followers was AUTHOR JL FORD.
It made me curious as who this author was, and how he started etc. I logged onto his website, familiarized myself his work and began to follow him as well. Author Ford tweets are inspiring about relationship and life topics. With so much negative energy in the world, it’s always a JOY to find someone spreading positive energy into the universe.
I noticed his book titled “Bring your book to life “listed on his website, and the thought of being an author in the back of my mind. I immediately purchased the book. PAUSE. I have purchased two other books about publishing. One was informative because it showed the authors journey to being published. The other was a book that seems like someone googled the information and called it a book. I say all that to say, I didn’t know what to expect out of JL FORD’S book. However here are my thoughts.
Bring your book to life by J.L. FORD is a very informative book for aspiring authors. It’s not your normal do this and do that book. He takes you step by step on the pros and cons of self-publishing. Although he has self-published several books, he doesn’t point his finger and say YOU should self-publish. J.L Ford gives a well rounded view of publishing. He shares the mistakes that he made along the way. The ups, downs, upfront money and the benefits of self-publishing. Bring your book to life introduces new forms of publishing such as P.O.D ,confused? It stands for print on demand. You have to purchase bring your book to life for full details.
Bring your book to life, advises on the good, bad and ugly of social networking and royalties associated with your book. Author Ford also explains how your book, opens the door for new endeavors like speaking engagements etc. Do you know how to get there? Would you do a book signing on a large scale or modest scale? How much should you sale your book for? Are you willing to put in the work to bring your book to life? Are you trying to make money or doing something you have a passion for? If, these are questions you ask yourself or would like to be advised on.
I recommend BRING YOUR BOOK TO LIFE by JL FORD.
