The Writing Edge for Business Writers: 9/20/19

Sep 20, 2019 | Reading Lists

You’re a businessperson. You may not think of yourself as a writer, but you know that writing well can boost your results and your career. Naturally, you want to do better. Even though writing and storytelling and blogging and SEO aren’t your day job, you want to do them better.

You need to get the most value you can from your reading time. That’s why every week I pick the one post from the web’s multitudes that will help you get better. This week I’m pointing you to a post on things you need to know when you’re done writing and it’s time to publish.

From Michele DeFilippo: Book Publishing Services: What are they? Do I need them?

“Options for indie publishing are exploding. While this is a great thing for authors who want to publish a book without involving a traditional publisher, the terminology around self-publishing is also exploding and further muddying the waters. In today’s publishing marketplace, it’s getting more difficult for authors and companies involved in the industry to categorize the various services available. So, we thought we’d zero in on one of the latest terms in the industry: book publishing services, also called ‘author services.'”

Here’s a link to my recent post titled “Better Writing: Three Dimensions of Writing Improvement.”
