Booklish: The Simple, Comprehensive Guide to Successfully Writing and and Publishing Your Book by Bookacademy is a treasure trove of information! Anyone aspiring to be an author really needs to get their hands on this piece. The exercises at the end of each chapter help to refine a skill in writing and even published authors would benefit from this refresher course.Inside the pages, it is a walk through guide from getting your dream of publishing a book and turning it into a reality! Of course, having talent helps but I'm a firm believer that if you practice something long enough, you'll eventually get good at it. Writing is no exception to this! Each chapter deals with a specific subset of writing, from developing your voice, targeting your audience, marketing and more. It even tells you about metadata of books. If I had seen this book when I first started publishing my work back in 2011, I could have done so much easier and it wouldn't have been as time consuming, i.e. I've done a lot of research on self-publishing before becoming published. In reality, this is a perfect book for someone just starting out or again, even as a refresher course.
