A Writer Until I Die
I’ve been writing since I was nine-years-old. You could say it’s in my blood.
I’ve written and published several books, one full-length business paperback, and more than 10 mini-books or brief books.
Mini-books, the name I prefer, refers to a printed paperback of less than 100 printed pages and tightly focused on one topic.
The theory behind—and the main reason they’re successful—is that readers don’t have to waste their time on fluff.
They can, as one trade college used to advertise, “get in, get out, and get on with life.”
Mini-books are essential for any writer serious about leaving behind a body of work to influence those she/he leaves behind.
The Existential Case for Mini-Books
Pamela Slim, a popular business author in the 2000s, popularized the phrase ‘Body of Work’ in a book with the same title.
Like an artist’s portfolio, Slim argued that anyone in any trade could build a body of work that speaks for itself.
As a writer and teacher, I want my words to survive and influence others after I’m gone. Amazon’s KDP is the path to making this a reality.
I’m a student of Chris Stanley, a mega-successful mini-book entrepreneur who teaches writers how to do this, and I’m neck deep in this process now.
I currently have three mini-books ready to publish:
Practical Zen (spiritual growth)
Chaos To Clarity (personal improvement)
Expertise To Income (income security)
