Write Your First Nonfiction Book: A Primer for Aspiring Authors - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Stop writing the wrong book.

Before you write another sentence, read this short, opinionated primer from a bestselling author of more than 65 books.

If you have been "writing a book" for two years and you are still on Chapter Three… the problem isn’t willpower. It isn’t talent. It is architecture. You don’t have a template. You don’t have a Big Idea sentence. You don’t have an emotional map of what writing a first book actually feels like. And that is exactly what this book gives you.

After three decades in the publishing trenches — 65-plus books, five million copies sold, dozens of income streams, and hundreds of clients, Honorée Corder has watched thousands of aspiring authors fail at the same three things. So she wrote the book that prevents all three.

Write Your First Nonfiction Book is the short, ruthlessly practical primer that walks you from blank page to finished outline in a single sitting, and from there to a published book on a real budget, on a real timeline, written in less than one hour a day.

Inside, you will learn:

• The Five Stages every first-time author rides — Excitement, Self-Doubt, Disbelief + Overwhelm, The Aha Moment, and Delight — so you can recognize each one instead of mistaking it for proof you should quit.
• The 8-Chapter Architecture — Honorée’s exact chapter-by-chapter template, the one that takes a body of expertise and turns it into a book your reader can describe to a friend in one sentence.
• The Big Idea Formula: “I help (target) do (thing of value) with/without (differentiator).” The one sentence that decides whether your book is commercial.
• Plotter, Pantser, or Plantser — find your writing temperament and stop trying to write like someone else.
• Optimize and Maximize — how the front matter starts the author-reader relationship, and how the back matter turns the book into a business asset.
• The real $15,000 publishing budget — what to invest, where, and why a “book in a weekend” costs you a decade of royalties.
• The Pomodoro daily writing habit — how Honorée writes four-plus books a year on less than an hour a day.

Your book is a business asset. Stop writing the wrong one.
