Learn how to write books and e-books that boost your career and share your hard-earned expertise. Topics include how to fit books into your busy schedule, kick-start your writing, and use creative-writing and storytelling techniques (that make your book stand out). We’ll also explore book proposals and various publishing options.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Build your profits and prestige with your book or e-book
• Enjoy "instant” credibility with your book or e-book
• Fit your book into your busy schedule
• Learn how writing a fast first draft leads to a strong finish
• Use key components of the book proposal to kick-start your writing
    (and why you need one even if you’re self-publishing!)
• Hook your readers—including literary agents and editors
• Make your book unique in a crowded marketplace
• Overcome limiting thoughts like "There’s nothing new to write about!”
