Writing, Marketing & Managing Your Non-fiction Book Project

Many speakers think about writing a book but can’t find the time. Other speakers have squeezed their thoughts into a manuscript but are uncertain how to get their book into print and distribution.   Some speakers have published a book but are unhappy with its reception in the marketplace.  Thanks to the self-publishing model, becoming an author has become easier - but in many ways, it has become more complex and confusing.   What is the “right” way to write, produce, market, and manage your non-fiction book project? How do you craft a customized plan that will guarantee your success?

Presented by Jeanne Martinson

Professional Speaker since 1992 and CAPS member since 1997, Jeanne Martinson is a best-selling Canadian author of 12 books.

To help other speakers and trainers take their non-fiction book from idea to global distribution, Jeanne wrote the book, “Hemingway or Twain – Unleashing Your Author Personality” and launched her indie publishing company, Wood Dragon Books (WDB) in 2015.

Since the launch of WDB,  Jeanne has worked with more than a dozen non-fiction authors to create meaningful, marketable, and readable books - with the least money, frustration and time possible.
