The Author-preneur

For a long time, I've emphasized on this blog, this one and my Web site that writing is a business. Now, I can point to an example of someone who truly embraces the notion of author as entrepreneur.

I'm talking about none other than Seth Harwood. If you don't believe a self-published author can make it, I suggest you check out his Web site and his Author Boot Camp site. This guy is nothing less than amazing!

Seth Harwood is a true-life example of what Mark Jeffrey (the interviewer in this video) calls an "author-preneur."



Author-preneurship is like any other business. It requires time, creative approaches to marketing, persistence and belief in yourself. If you have those qualities and a good product to sell (i.e., a good book), you can do this, too.

Think about that as you're making your New Year's resolutions!
