By Timothy G.M Mutani Traditionally, authors have been thought off as introverts. Many authors were known to relish themselves in their own company. This is where the creative mind exploded and they give the world their masterpieces. It is reported that many of the world’s best novelists seclude themselves, sometimes up to several months away from anyone to plot their books. In today’s world, authors, artists and other creatives are finding themselves on the list of almost every public speaking …
ook program is a good marketing and impact tool. Getting your book in bookshops and the selling platforms is just a step into the door.

However, the idea is that you might find yourself in the elevator with a Person of Interest who can’t, for those twenty or thirty seconds, escape or deflect your attention – so you can …
The New York Times reported that “only a small fraction of self-published authors sell enough books to make a living, and many are put off by the drudge work and endless self-promotion involved.” Writing your book is a great achievement, publishing it is enough work already but selling and distributing it? That’s where more work is needed. Why most Self-Published authors end up selling just but a few hundred copies of their book, is because of a misconception that …
You have successfully self-published your book – congratulations! Despite the fact that writing a book and publishing it is such a milestone worth all celebrations, this only gets you to the door. There is so much more that is attached to the success of your book other than writing it well and publishing it professionally. After being so diligent and investing heavily (on time and money) on the first two steps (writing and publishing), the last thing you need …
When I started writing my four books several years ago (Back On My Feet, Jesus Killed My Business, A Girl’s Fathers and Too Busy to be Effective), I did not think much about been an effective Christian author. Being a Christian myself, I felt it was automatic that my content was Christian. This was until my husband shared with me a quote by Francine Rivers asking if ‘I am a Christian writer or a Christian who writes?’ The difference, as …
