When it comes to penning the Great American novel, the autobiography of your accomplishments, or a how-to tome that shares your professional expertise—almost everyone has a book struggling to burst free.
That’s why our February 2012 theme is dedicated to the love of books. Our goal is to help that story go from idea to published manuscript, so check out our Tips for Entrepreneurs column, where more than 20 authors offer their Publishing Rule of Thumb.
For more insight into the publishing world, we talked with New York Times bestselling author Ridley Pearson. Among his 28 titles is the book he penned with renowned humorist Dave Barry (pictured right, with Pearson in the foreground), “Peter and the Starcatchers.” Scroll down to read all about it.
Also in this issue:
- Our Book of the Month, “Write That Book Already!,” by Sam Barry and Kathi Kamen Goldmark, will get your creative juices flowing.
- Our new client and videography columnist Andrea Keating, CEO of Crews Control, explains why The E-Myth Revisited guides and inspires her.
- Ever been to Kramerbooks’ Afterwords Cafe? The next time you are in DC’s Dupont Circle, stop by for an inspired meal.
We part with this thought from E. L. Doctorow: “Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see to the end of your headlights; but you can make the whole trip that way.”
Here’s to writing that book already! — Hope Katz Gibbs
