Began as a kid town newspaper sports writer (wrote the town sports, I was it, as a high school junior-senior). I was hooked, but then moved into newspaper and magazine articles and put 1700 in print. Some of those led to books, and I wrote one a year for almost 50 years. Some of those were great seminar or speaking topics (or qualifiers) so I wound up giving 2000+ of those. At the same time I had one very narrow niche book nobody would publish so I did, and that led to Niche Publishing: Publish Profitably Every Time, and that to two different niche publishing companies (where I edited and published), in dentistry and K-12 education. And that's where I am now, sometimes adding fun or necessary books to the list. In the latter group, just out, is "an inspirational and very funny book" called Surviving Prostate Cancer, A surviver's Most Funny Account.... Women love it. Oh yes, I blog a lot too (mostly about writing and publishing) at http://blog.gordonburgett.com.
