Description

Publishing a non-fiction book is laden with challenges Whether you're writing non-fiction ebooks, or selling your expertise as a writer of blogs and articles, the business of being a writer is exactly that, a business. It's a business for authors who speak, retired professionals, people who have something to say and maybe want to change their corner of the world in some way. But what many authors don't realise is that once the book is written, then the hard work begins as you tackle the difference between being an author vs authority. Authority Island is about the respective experiences of three fictional authors experience various aspects of an author life. Independent Sue wants to do it all herself, learning mostly from the internet and a few she meets along the way, but not really wanting to put too much effort into her marketing, Sue gets to Authority Island and learns just how unprepared she is for what happens after her book is ready to publish on Amazon. Bob has tapped into a lot of resources but discovers he still has a lot to do in order to master becoming an authority - despite all he's so far invested and done to be ready for his publishing journey. Kris however, works closely with people who can help her at every step of the way, so that her own learning curve is much smoother as she navigates her way around collecting the Five Keys of Authority she needs to open the Mystical Gate at the far end of the Island. This book is not an author training manual, but a story demonstrating valuable insights into what most authors need to know about publicity, promotion, branding, social media, and being an author who speaks about their expertise.

Author Biography:

A successful author, publisher, international speaker, and coach, Dixie has taken dozens of authors and business specialists from Idea to Author-ity(R). In 2020, Dixie merged her indie publishing Authority Authors with Ann Dettori Wilson to create Indie Experts Pty Ltd - Australia based, but working globally with authors from as far afield as Europe, USA, Middle East, and the South Pacific to provide specialist high-quality non-fiction publishing services that focus on the 'Before, During, and After' their book. Based in Brisbane, Australia, but well-traveled, Dixie works with clients all over the world from a variety of industries. Dixie's special skills combine with all her experience in marketing, brand development, publishing, speaking, and coaching to make up her essential toolbox when working with highly motivated entrepreneurs who want to change their corner of the world. Dixie's own mission is to help bring important messages that matter to their target market. Exceptional at strategy, able to both clearly see the big picture and understand the details, she is described by clients as methodical, knowledgeable, and inspirational. Ann Dettori Wilson has been exercising her abilities to create outstanding books for hundreds of authors since taking over specialist typesetting company, Post Pre-press, servicing the traditional publishing industry operators in 2008. Since then she has gone on to create Independent Ink in 2015 and cofounded Indie Experts in 2019 with Dixie Maria Carlton. Recognised throughout Australasia for her exemplary skills in helping authors produce their best books possible, and for her unique position that encompasses both traditional and self- publishing services, she is also regularly invited as a judge of book awards. Ann sits on the Queensland Writers Centre board and is herself the best selling author of The Entrepreneurs Guide to Self-Publishing.
