I thank Midwest Book Review for their favorable review.<\/p>\n<p><em>There is now a brand new two-volume series by Matthew S. Chan designed specifically to help individuals and niche groups profitable publish books as a source of revenue for themselves and\/or their projects. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;TurnKey Publishing&#8221; (9781933723013, $21.95) is a complete course of step-by-step instruction on creating a commercially successful book. Chan debunks such common myths as it being too difficult to write a book, too expensive to publish a book, it being necessary to sell through bookstores to be successful, needing an agent to become reputably published. Readers will learn how to retain total creative control over their own work; use accelerated publishing to turn out three or more titles a year; produce and build a book &#8212; instead of simply writing one; sell books outside a traditional bookstore, publish outside of a traditional publisher, create a business that provides a revenue stream, convert and package personal knowledge, experience and stories into an income-producing book, and market oneself successfully even when beginning as a totally unknown author. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The TurnKey Publisher&#8217;s Audio Publishing Handbook&#8221; (9781933723150, $20.95) has as its specific focus the creation and self-publication of an audio book and\/or audio program &#8212; without going through a traditional audio book publisher or using a professional recording studio. Of special note is the cogent and practical information provided with respect to finding the right vendors to design and manufacture an audio CD package and adapting a print book to an audio book format. Every novice author aspiring to publish their manuscript and every group seeking to fund raise through publishing a book should give &#8220;TurnKey Publishing&#8221; a very careful (and profitable!) reading. Every published author and every niche publisher should carefully read &#8220;The TurnKey Publisher&#8217;s Audio Publishing Handbook&#8221; with an eye towards considering turning their print publications into an audio book format to augment their revenue stream.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was first posted on &#8220;The TurnKey Publishing Blog&#8221;. ==== I had almost forgotten I had submitted to Midwest Book Review copies of my newest books &#8220;TurnKey Publishing&#8221; and &#8220;The TurnKey Publisher&#8217;s Audio Publishing Handbook&#8221;.
