The Truly Successful Author: Build Your Author Career in 10 Hours/week by Maria Secoy
informative
fast-paced
4.0
This is a fair overview of self publishing and how to get started as an author trying to make a living off of writing.
It does gear a little toward complete newcomers and romance authors, but there is information here for everyone. It was thorough, and I enjoy the bonus content that comes with the book.
It does get quite repetitive, especially with the upsell for the course. There were probably 5-10 pages just devoted to the upsell.
Overall though, it’s a good starting point for indie authors looking to grow their readership and use data to inform their strategies. There are good resources that come with the book as well, including a glossary of terms, audiobook version, and guide to interviewing editors.
