Members Reviews:
Timely
Would you listen to Think Like a Publisher again? Why?
YES. For years I went to meetings and listened to people repeat the same concerns, problems, whining rants, why won't this and why won't that ... all resulting from a slow drain of energy from focusing on the goal. This simple to follow list with calls to action make tackling publishing perspective a lot more compact. Rather than spread out over years of effort. I can revisit a chapter and renew my perspective as I mature in my pursuit of this goal, to publish quality work with industry savvy.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Think Like a Publisher?
Knowing I have years of questions located in one easy to reference space is my biggest aha moment upon reading this the first time. Now, on my second review.
What does Colin Robinson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Perspective and experience. With a cherry on top of this is the industry. What are you going to do about your role? This is what I heard loud and clear.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I don't recollect what point really toppled me over with WOW. I felt a consistent FOMO (fear of missing out) throughout. Like, where have you been all my life sweetheart sorta connection. I'm SO glad to finally know you. This resonated with me pretty deeply.
Any additional comments?
To give an idea of why I connect with the overall context of this book is to understand how long I'd been wanting this. How long I have been working toward this. In a numerical time, line start from I'm 51. Work back. For four years I'd been attending one meeting a month to understand the basics of Self-Publishing. Understanding that even if I go traditional publishing I will still need to understand and be strategic like a self-published author. So, start from this point was my goal. That way I'd be prepared when I publish at any time anywhere with anyone. Ugh, this was painstaking and eventually showed me that hanging out with a small local group, even though some were doing lots in their niche, wasn't getting me the one and done need. Meaning, now I know this lets move onto something else I can leverage and learn.
