Beating The Best Seller: Go Toe to Toe With The Giants in your Genre

Description

Imagine someone buying their first pair of boxing gloves and stepping in the ring for the heavyweight championship very next day. This seems ridiculous; it would be no contest, and after their embarrassing defeat and eventual return from the hospital they would never work up the nerve to box again.

Now, imagine deciding to write a book. Once it’s done, you throw it together, slap it on book sites and wait for fans to knock your door down. The turnout and subsequent embarrassment would prevent even the most adamant optimist from writing a second book.

This story is about authors—their nicks, bruises and surprising similarity to athletes in one of today’s most dangerous sports. This book highlights the key to creating books that compete with the most popular books in your genre.
