Christian Warren Freed makes a strong case for understanding that writing a book is a business, whether that book is for educating, convincing, motivating, or entertaining readers. As the award-winning author of more than two dozen books, he has gained an understanding of what needs to happen in the authorial realm—and, with a dash of humor, he shares his experiences, lessons, hardships, and wisdom learned from his own writing journey in So . . . You Wrote a Book, Now What?

From choosing the most advantageous publishing path (traditional, self-published, independent) to marketing decisions (what to do and what not to do) to legal matters every author should know about (copyright, trademark, and fair use), he lays it all out. This is less a “how-to” do book – though it does offer wise how-to advice – than it is a what-to-consider guide as you foray from the world of writers to the universe of published authors for writing success. This brief book is meant to help writers, wherever they are in their writing journey, ask and answer questions important for meeting their goals and be strategic with their work. In other words, treat their book like a business.
