Blood Sweat Ink A Do-It-Yourself BookIn Writing a Blockbuster, Andrew Marx presents a step-by-step guide to successfully writing and publishing your own book. With new technology offering independent authors more options than ever to design, distribute and market books, writing a blockbuster is now easier than ever. Authors who previously had to go through a major publishing house to have commercial success can now succeed using a proven do-it-yourself formula. But while many “how-to publish” books focus on the end result -- book sales, few carefully examine the process that gets the author to that point. Marx takes a comprehensive tour through the stages of writing, how to approach a first draft, tackle writer’s block and distractions, and write with the end in mind. He offers a practical approach to organizing your writing and emphasizes writing for an audience. When the dust has settled on the first draft, Marx launches into a detailed guide to editing your book. Editing is a critical skill of the self-published author. Marx provides constructive advice on how an author can be their own best editor, from polishing the second draft to copy editing the final draft before it goes to print. From the first step to the last, Writing a Blockbuster presents straight-forward practical and philosophical guidance to writing and self-publishing a book. Two chapters are dedicated to designing the interior file and creating an eye-catching cover, all in the do-it-yourself mentality. But the book also weighs the pros and cons of hiring someone to do the work for you and sets forth where and how to find the right experts. When the book is done, Marx tackles distribution options for the book, expanding beyond print editions into the competitive world of digital books. Finally, the book finishes with several chapters on marketing and generating sales! Taking advantage of new technology increases publication, distribution and marketing options for the independent author. Marx engages the world of self-publishing far beyond the basics, outlining a comprehensive plan for writing and publishing not just another book, but the next blockbuster. |
Thank You is ImpliedThe Annotated Smart ReMarx by Andrew Marx |
 |
Collection of Niceties: No thank you necessaryThank You is Implied, a new collection of essays by Andrew Marx, takes on wide-ranging themes from legalizing trips to the bathroom, gambling in third-rate casinos and what it takes to make the list of the sexiest songs ever written! In his own inestimable and entertaining style, Marx skewers his sex life (been there, done that), tackles celebrity culture (et tu Brett Favre?) and even devours all-you-can-eat USDA Canner grade prime rib and lives to tell about it! Culled from a 17-year writing career and his Smart ReMarx blog, Thank You is Implied highlights the author’s humorous and unrepentant take on pop culture, sports, relationships and everything else. If you are wondering who predicted the decline of Pluto, the collapse of the economy, and the end of the All American Football League, the answers are all here. Each article is annotated with additional commentary, anecdotes, and explanations (and a couple of apologies) from the author. Every article is peppered with the sharp wit and smart remarks that have made Marx’s writing completely original and thoroughly satisfying. |
