Industry insiders offer insight and advice to aspiring nonfiction authors

Every writer knows how it feels to have something important to say-a message burning in their veins. They know the next step is immortalizing it in a book. They feel passionate and invigorated, ready to take action. They know it won't be easy; it takes grit, gumption, and commitment. But with the right mindset and the right plan, publishing a book is in every writer's reach.

In Hungry Authors:The Indispensable Guide to Planning, Creating, and Publishing a Nonfiction Book, experienced authors and book coaches Liz Morrow and Ariel Curry offer writers an engaging, hands-on resource that includes:

• Hope and optimism about the publishing landscape
• A fresh and humorous perspective on the work and business of being a writer
• A practical roadmap for ideating, planning, writing, and publishing a book
• Tips and tricks for how to get an agent or publisher's attention, even without a huge platform
• Access to dozens of extra resources on the accompanying website, www.hungryauthors.com

Good books don't happen by accident. They happen because the author has a plan every step of the way, from their book's structure to the publishing path that's best for them. Any author with a great idea and a boatload of gumption can write and publish an impactful nonfiction book, and Hungry Authors is the tool every writer needs to make that happen.

Moving your idea from your brain to paper can feel intimidating, yes. But it will also feel incredibly cathartic and relieving. It's an amazing way to connect with yourself, and in turn, with others. It has a way of showing you to yourself for the first time. You've been stuck in the weeds wondering if you had what it took to get to the finish line but now, finally, you have two brilliant and qualified guides to get you there. (From the Foreword)
