If you have written a work of fiction or non-fiction, and would like to make some money with your book, then Becoming An Author: Your Quick Start Guide To A Successful Book Launch by Rochelle Carter is one of the books you should put on your to-read list. In this concise non-fiction book about the various steps you need to take to have a successful book launch and attract readers, Rochelle Carter explains important issues in an easy to read manner. Some of the topics covered include: where to hold your book launch party, what your cover should look like, what your author photo should look like, and how you can get as many people as possible excited about your new book.
Becoming An Author: Your Quick Start Guide To A Successful Book Launch by Rochelle Carter contains information that works for people who want to publish their first book, but also for people who already have published a book and would like their next launch to be more successful. I have not yet published a book nor finished my first novel, but I found the information in this book very interesting. Knowing these things actually also helps when you don't have your book ready yet (though the author recommends to only read the book when you actually have a finished book). I read the book because I wanted to get an idea about what challenges lie ahead of me, and how much money I would need to save to turn my own book launch into a successful one. I did not find all the information in this book, but I am now reading a more in-depth book by Rochelle Carter to get an even better idea. She definitely knows what she is talking about, and I would recommend this book to all new authors and to authors who would like to become better at launching books.
