DESCRIPTION: The debut of ebooks has revolutionized the centuries-old world of publishing, creating opportunities and markets that traditional printhouses have yet
to understand, let alone explore. Even if you've never written a word in your life, learn how to capitalize on these lucrative opportunities and write your own success
story!
A Kindle-exclusive title.
REVIEW: This low-effort/high-profit sales pitch only needs a little synthesized music and stock footage to become a full-blown infomercial. Perry glosses over the
important considerations of why, what, and how to write; indeed, he happily informs the would-be profiteer that it's just as easy - easier, even - to outsource that particular
tedious and unrewarding step. The rest of his information, on how to actually publish and market "your" ebook for maximum exposure and profit, was equally vague, and only
occasionally enlightening. While I understand and appreciate that marketing's a big part of success in any field, especially the competitive world of writing and publishing,
this sort of get-rich-quick "plan," glorifying speed and greed, just rubs my little writer soul the wrong way.
(Oddly enough, when I first wrote up this review, this ebook was credited to John Hadyn. Now Amazon lists it as the work of Bob Perry. Considering the author's views on
profiting from other writers' work, I suppose some confusion on the book's real origin is to be expected.)
