It's rare when your best bits of a book don't make the cut.
And my recent research proved the exception.
In the other three books I published in this series, I mentioned that this research process took over two years. And that there were many false starts.
But a pattern emerged from this process. I'd take it as far as I could and then would find myself writing a new book from further questions I had.
Then I wrapped up that first book (on publishing) by removing all the new material and putting into a new document. Then prettying up what I first had to make it read nice.
That second book (on copywriting) went along fine – until I got to its end and over-wrote it again.
So again, I separated out the new material.
This time, I started with the theme of unraveling the mystery of who was stopping authors from making enough income – and it ended up simply being a nice book, and a course, but not long enough for a paperback. So it ended up on a shelf of its own.
Still searching, I came across some other texts which themselves had been neglected. Together, these became the third book for this series.
However, I was left with the original itch still in need of scratching.
So I began writing once again. This time, my new book was in a new style -- keeping a non-fiction narrative going in each chapter. A central character in each one, with their own story arc delineated in that chapter. The research went along fine, I found human examples of all the core basics I'd covered in the four books above. Plus, I found the real answer to that itching question. And cleaned it all up on editing. It also became a course.
Unfortunately, it was again too short for publishing as a paperback.
Two too-short books, both stylish and easy-reading non-fiction. Together, still not enough for a decent-sized paperback.
So I pulled up Dorothea Brande's classic, Becoming A Writer (another neglected and too-short classic) and – voilà! - we had a decent length, filled with three highly valuable tomes, if each too short for printing. (And this last book's audiobook also made it into a course of its own.)
So, this supplementary volume was born. Three books, three courses, one textbook.
You're welcome.
These courses will be available separately and as a complimentary bundle to this book you're reading.
Here's now a way to answer all sorts of questions that are outside the three books already published in this series. And I can get on with my next research, knowing that I've made all I know that's really valuable into four print-worthy volumes. Ones that will sell each other and more importantly give answers writers have been looking for well before self-publishing became a thing.
All for your reading and discovery.
Good Hunting!
