The First Reviews Are In
Some reviews from verified authors for my new book, The Profitable Author: 1,001 Ways to Build a Business You Love Around Your Books.
"Best Advice for Authors in a Decade, 5-stars on Amazon
Sharon Woodhouse provides a real eye-opening approach to the business of being a modern author. So many authors think building an email list is enough, but this book is packed with ideas, action plans, and business concepts that will take you so much further and help you build an audience in ways you haven’t yet explored, especially if you rely on a digital-first strategy. The breadth of issues is helpful, too. I especially love the way her advice tackles mindset as so many are playing it small and don’t even realize it.
Note, this isn’t a book about the craft of writing but how to be a professional author with a professional author business. It’s essential information for authors at any stage in their careers, whether traditionally or independently published or even pre-published. Read it, absorb the message, and think how you can apply it to your own situation.
Bottom line? I think this book will be a real game-changer for many authors."
—Carmen Amato, author of the Detective Emilia Cruz mystery series and the historical thriller Galliano Club series
“Not Just for Authors!, 5-stars on Amazon
Author Sharon Woodhouse offers a supremely useful handbook for the author/entrepreneur. Part mindset training, part warehouse of marketing ideas, and part examples of other successful authors who have found their groove, this is a compilation of bite-sized articles packed with ideas and inspiration. I kept stopping to take notes and write down ideas.
This is customized for authors, but it applies to any creative business. By the time I was halfway through, I stopped and bought a copy for an entrepreneur who recently started a graphic design/branding business.”
—David Bruns, co-author of the Command and Control global military thriller series
"I have only been a subscriber to The Profitable Author for a few short weeks and it’s already paying dividends and I’m experiencing positive progress.
Sharon is like having your own personal writing trainer and “hype-man,” always positive, always enthusiastic, and always encouraging your work.
And if the prompting isn’t enough to become proactive, her inside knowledge of all things literary is like having a secret agent working for you, deciphering publishing code, identifying allies and enemy agents, and ultimately navigating a difficult world for authors, particularly beginners such as myself.
The Profitable Author, as written and as an on-going subscription has been worth every penny and I highly recommend it to everyone thinking about dipping their toes into the literary pool."
—Harrison Fillmore, author of Godfathers of Chicago's Chinatown: Triads, Tongs & Street Gangs and Chicago Catholic Churches: A Sketchbook
