I’m often asked what books I would recommend reading about writing, publishing, and marketing books. I love to read and read a lot, although not as much as I’d like. However, I do believe I have some solid recommendations to share. Therefore, for the next three “me only” episodes of The Author Switch, I’m going to share my answer to that question. In this episode, I’m sharing books that have helped me write better books. You might be surprised by my choices.
