Forget what you know about book writing, publishing and promoting; the model just changed-- for the better! Now you may print shorter runs at prices that make sense, publish your "books" in other (electronic) ways, sell them automatically and promote them for practically nothing. You will discover how to wring maximum value out of your work. This is an exciting time to be a writer. To be successful, a book needs writing, design, production and promotion. I organized and automated some of these functions years ago. The last elements just recently fell into place to establish the New Book Model. You will love it! There is not enough room in one manual to include everything that you should know about writing nonfiction. Consequently, Para Publishing has prepared many supplemental reports (called documents, special reports or instant reports) that are referenced in relevant places throughout this book. You may not want or need these supplements right now, but when you do, you can find them on our Web site (by typing in the document number in the search box) or by contacting us by email, telephone or fax. I am also including numerous Web site addresses for more information. If you are reading the downloadable or CD editions of this book, you may click on the URLs and go directly to the sites. My system works. In the back of The Self-Publishing Manual , I ask readers to send me their books once they publish. I receive 15 to 20 books each week. Thank you for investing your time and money to allow me to share this new book-writing concept with you. I will make sure your time and money are well invested. - Dan Poynter
