“Ever since I was little I have dreamed of writing a book…the idea of what I would write has changed many times but the goal was always there. Just two days after an old “dream board” of mine surfaced during a spring cleaning session, I received an e-mail about the “Your Written Book” class …
Ironically, in the lower right hand corner of the dream board I had a picture of a book, representing the book I would someday write. I knew it was a sign that I should sign up for the course.
We are only 2 weeks into the program and it has far exceeded my expectation. The course has helped me to focus in on an idea that I am very excited about, and has forced me to ask myself some clarifying questions about my intentions that I never would have thought to think about !
I know my book won’t be written by the end of the 6 weeks, but what I do know is that after taking this course this dream really can become a reality.”

Anybody Can Publish a Nonfiction Book… They Just Can’t All Write One That’s Appealing
I have a good amount of nonfiction books in my personal collection that probably contain a wealth of information but are written so poorly that I can’t finish them. Their topics run the gamut from sales to accounting principles to writing techniques and while I’m interested in learning more, I just can’t see myself swimming through a sea of pea soup writing.
On the other hand, I have numerous nonfiction books that I’ve read more than one time because they get right to the point. There’s virtually no ambiguity in the text, and that makes it easy for me to quickly digest the material. Maybe those books don’t contain the same level of info that the aforementioned books do, but I have wound up valuing them more.
As the author of a nonfiction book, you want your book to appeal to your readers. Although you’re the expert, the book shouldn’t be written for you. It should be written for your audience. In the end, you’re simply the conduit to get your knowledge from point A to point B.
Maybe some day I’ll have the energy to read all those nonfiction books that are collecting dust… but I’m rather doubtful. That’s why all the ghostwriting we do at Your Written Book is geared toward creating books that are readable and marketable. Otherwise, our authors will never be able to fully realize their dreams of writing books that are enjoyed, re-read and referred, not just published.
Self-Published Books DO Succeed!
It’s always fun to hear the naysayers cluck their tongues at the thought of self-publishing, as if a book that you’ve invested in using your own moolah couldn’t possibly have any merit. It’s especially enjoyable when you can point to self-published works that have done pretty doggone well, like Fifty Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do)by Gever Tulley.
This nonfiction book came out in 2009 and is already burning up the charts at Amazon. (If you want to get yourself a copy, here’s a fast link to this fascinating read!)
Of course, Fifty Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do) didn’t come out of nowhere. Quite frankly, it has a lot going for it, including:
- A terrific title. (Who isn’t drawn to figure out what those fifty things could possibly be?)
- A niche market. (This is obviously geared toward parents who don’t want to shelter their kids, probably moms and dads from GenX and maybe even GenY.)
- An author who is willing to do some self-promotion. (We found this nonfiction book — where else? — on the Internet. And we’re probably not the only ones who will do so!)
The next time someone tells you that you can’t possibly be serious about self-publishing, just smile. Then, go do something a little “dangerous”… like setting a goal for the day you’d like to have your nonfiction book in print!
