For some time now, I’ve noticed the world of publishing seems to be going through a transition similar to the one the music industry went through 10 years ago. Now downloads have taken over from CD’s, many artists and bands have become their own ‘record companies’ and post and sell their own music online.
There are three technology trends that mean that authors can now do the same and that publishers must re-engineer themselves – the smart ones are, of course.
The trends are the ubiquity of the Internet itself, print on demand publishing and the introduction of affordable e-readers.
Every once in a while a book comes along that changes your view of the world. The Wealthy Author by Debs Jenkins and Joe Gregory is that book.
It describes how the world of publishing is being democratised in favour of the author. The danger of this trend is that, once anyone can publish, quality control goes out of the window.
This is what makes The Wealthy Author an invaluable read. It shows both the novice and experienced writer how to write a book that will be both worthy of being printed AND generate a revenue stream for the author at the same time.
I am really proud that Debs & Joe are also the publisher of my new book, Blocks and I look forward to sharing and enjoying abundance with them.
If you buy either Wealthy Author, or Blocks, you get 30 days free membership of the Publishing Academy – a brilliant resource for anyone serious about getting published.











Thanks for the mention Tom! I should have gotten you to write the blurb for our book! We’re likewise proud to have published Blocks and look forward to it being a huge success!
