Authorpreneur: A writer who understands that a successful author in today’s market must work diligently, every day, to promote their books and their brand to the reading public. The day of the self-published author is here to stay. The number of authors who are self-publishing has increased over 400,000 per year for the past four years. Over 1.5 million new books were self-published last year. KDP, Amazon’s direct publishing service, produces the vast number of these books. Most of their services are free, making it easy for anyone to publish a book without putting up any money. That means that many would-be authors think they can do it all themselves at no cost. But as the competition increases, the more difficult it becomes for readers to find new authors. Author Karen Hodges Miller gives you advice on how to become a successful authorpreneur in today’s competitive publishing market.
