How to Sell a Book (Preview Edition)

SALES CLOSE THE NIGHT OF JULY 9TH

I started writing a blog post about everything I've learned selling 100,000 self-published books. I'm 40,000 words in, so I guess I'm writing a book instead!

Each Part will be delivered to your email address when it becomes available, and include a link to a Google Doc on which you can ask questions about the text, and provide feedback.

You'll also receive the First Edition ebook. This likely won't be available to the public until September, so this is your chance to get early access to this information, and ask questions that will shape the book.

Thanks for helping me sell 100,000 self-published books, and for being a part of this new book!
