This tiny book contains my step-by-step, easy to follow system for getting your book written and self-published NOW. It's probably the most complete, no-nonsense guide to self-publishing available.
I take you on my personal journey, from an abject failure living in the Bronx with no future to speak of to becoming the writer I always dreamed of being--writing bestselling books, movies, and hit TV shows. I tell you how I went from dreamer to having money in the bank and fans around the world.
I tell you in my straight forward style what's holding you back from writing success, and give you the kick in the butt, plus all the tools you need to self-publish NOW. I tell you how I got where I am, but more importantly, how you can get there.
Excerpt:
It was 7:30 a.m.
Monday morning. The alarm clock had gone off half an hour ago, yet no matter
what I told myself, I just couldn’t get out of bed. I should have gotten up and
started getting ready for work as soon as the clock went off. That was normally how I did it.
Something was
wrong.
As I lay there,
I took inventory of myself. I wasn’t sick. It wasn’t a hangover. Truth is, I
wasn’t actually tired, although every muscle in my body seemed wracked with
fatigue. I was sweating.
I thought back
to Sunday morning. I felt great when I
got up on Sunday. I was up early. I read the paper, I played with my son, and
we all went to church.
We had brunch in
Manhattan after church, and spent the warm afternoon in Central Park near the
Merry-go-round. My son loved to go to
the merry-go-round. He didn’t like to ride it. He said it made him dizzy, but he
loved being in the presence of all the energy exuded by the kids. He feasted on
it.
Around 4 p.m. I
started feeling a bit sluggish. It
increased gradually, and by bedtime, I was exhausted. I had developed flu like
symptoms.
As I lay there
that Monday morning, I realized it was around 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon when I
started thinking about my job. On Sunday
evening as I prepared my route for the following day, I started feeling a sense
of dread.
I quickly
diagnosed myself with a malaise felt by millions nationwide. My illness was
that I dreaded going to work. I hated my job.
I asked myself
“how did this happen?” I had a dream
job. At least it was a dream job for a
guy from where I’m from. I was the envy of all my friends. I was both proud and
excited when I landed the job a few years earlier. Back then, I couldn’t wait to go out into the
field. WHAT had changed?
Hi, my name is
Ehrich Van Lowe (pronounced Eric. My friends call me E.) and I am a writer.
I’ve spent most of my working career writing professionally, and loving
it. I’ve written for big publishers,
small publishers and I’ve self-published. I’ve written blog posts and articles
in magazines.
I’ve written for
the theater, I’ve written poetry, and I’ve written for TV and film. I’ve won
many writing awards including being nominated for the Emmy Award and the Oscar,
all for my writing. I have written
bestselling novels and hit TV shows. I am a working writer who has had, and
still enjoys a wonderful and rewarding career.
But on that
morning, a long time ago, I was a twenty-three year-old nobody who had
abandoned my dreams.
If you are a writer trying to figure it all
out, or a failed writer, or a would be writer, I wrote this book for you. I
hope you will read it from beginning to end. There are a few things I’d like to
tell you that I believe can help launch your writing career, and keep you from
years of not realizing your dream.
Much of what you
are about to read in this book you have never heard before. Some of it you have, but not from me. The
purpose of this book is to get you comfortable with the idea that you, yes YOU,
can actually become a published author and make money. It’s also to give you
some tools you can use to get your writing career going, and not just going,
but going quickly and successfully.
