Here we go… Book three in this series.
Book one was KILLING THE TOP TEN SACRED COWS OF PUBLISHING.
Book two was KILLING THE TOP TEN SACRED COWS OF INDIE PUBLISHING.
Both books are available everywhere in electronic, paper, and soon audio.
What I call a “Sacred Cow” is basically a myth spread around publishing like the truth. Myths such as “rewriting must be done for every story.” Myths such as “you need an agent to sell a book,” or “sell a book to a different country.” And so on.
You can either buy the first two books to get all twenty of the Sacred Cows, or just click on the tab above and read them here in their original blog posts for free.
