When you start to write a book, you're doing more than just typing words on a keyboard. You're entering the book business - and like every other business, the book business has many different elements. The author wants you to be 100 percent successful in dealing with all those elements, so he has written this book to share with you his insider's story.

Mark Victor Hansen covers marketing, finances, and all elements of the business while encouraging would-be authors to achieve what Freud said were the three reasons people set out to write books: "Fame, Love, and Money."

As you move through the writing journey and your book begins to get read, you'll realize that you have the power to influence others through your writing. Your book will be a platform to get your message to others and a printed legacy that will last for all time. Your descendants into many generations will revel in reading their ancestor's work.

Let Mark inspire you to release your potential for writing greatness. The writer's challenges and opportunities have never been greater, so roll up your sleeves and get ready to enter the exciting world of authorship...it is a legacy worth leaving.
