Tim McConnehey's 10 Secrets to a Bestseller is a brilliant, take-you-by-the-hand workbook for the self-publishing author. Self-published authors are about a dime a dozen now, and sadly with the advent of easy publishing came a major decline in quality books. This has become an issue for me, so much so that a few years ago I seriously thought about boycotting all newly released books. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, writing technique; these suddenly seemed to become relics from the past. A few years later, formatting issues reared its ugly head, merging into a sea of chaos for most self-publishers. I was appalled. Having written a novel, I wanted to maintain my rights, but not sacrifice quality. What to do? Enter 10 Secrets to a Bestseller! Now, my novels can have the quality of a traditional publishing house while I get to control the most essential part of my book; my creativity and freedom. If you want your book to look professional, but want to self-publish, this is the workbook for you!
