Very few writers—nonfiction or fiction—sell a lot of books. That means they don't make money from their books alone. What's a writer to do?
Take a look at the 2023 Write Stuff bundle. The bundle will help you see where you might improve your craft and your business.
Most of the books apply to all writers. Sure, if you're a nonfiction writer, you might have to substitute “article” for short story, but writing is writing.
Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch offer several WMG Writer's Guides to help you see how professional writers continue writing through the various ups and downs of life. Sure, they focus on fiction, but believe me, their ideas apply to nonfiction, too. (I have not yet taken the Quick Solutions workshop, but I'm sure it applies, too.)
If you're a writer, and you want more income possibilities, my book, Successful Independent Consulting, will help you think through what you offer and how. And how to attract clients so you don't have to cold call anyone.
There are several craft books, such as Ron Collins' On Creating (and Celebrating) Characters. Ron didn't realize that he was describing precisely the same issue as when nonfiction writers have to anonymize people in their writing. Darcy Pattison's Start Your Novel also applies to how to write a nonfiction book.
Playing the Short Game, and Podcasting for Authors are all about discoverability, how to help readers find your work.
Tonya Price's Building the Writer's Network helps writers create their support system.
Because all writing contains elements of fiction and nonfiction, you only need one idea from each book. Then the bundle pays for itself. Improve how you write and market your writing. Buy the May 2023 Write Stuff bundle now.
