Professional Reviews
A must-read for anyone who is thinking about writing a book
"Rut-Busting Book for Authors is a must-read for anyone who is thinking about writing a book. As the author of 10 books, I can tell you first-hand that Nancy Christie's sage advice is a realistic road map for writing, publishing and marketing a winning book. Follow her advice and you will be on your way to having a best seller!" - Ann Marie Sabath, author of Everybody Has A Book Inside Of Them: How To Bring It Out
Loaded with actionable advice
"This thoughtful book is loaded with actionable advice you can use to prioritize your writing and improve your productivity, which is something many authors struggle with. Read this book and you will change your career! Highly recommended!" -Stephanie Chandler, author of The Nonfiction Book Publishing Plan and CEO of NonfictionAuthorsAssociation.com
A lot of helpful hints, tips and information
"Christie's Rut-Busting Book for Authors is a great resource, not only for new authors, but even experienced authors like me (15 books published to date) can find a lot of helpful hints, tips and information. It's well-organized, taking the would-be author from the very beginning of wanting to write (which she calls the "liminal"stage) through finding a time and place to write in a busy schedule, organizing your story or manuscript, then how to find all the people you need (agent,publisher, editor, book designer, etc.) to produce a professionally finished copy. She discusses the pros and cons of self-publishing as opposed to getting a publisher, and everything in between. I especially liked the section on promotion,which was very helpful. This is an important book, a must-read for any aspiring author, and a great help to experienced authors. Highly recommended." TinaTessina, PhD, licensed psychotherapist and author of 15 books
It seems that everyone is writing self-help or do-it-yourself (DIY) books these days. At first I thought this book was about writer's block, but after I read further I can see that would definitely be a help those "thinking about writing books." And I can see from your reviews that this and your other books are very well received and your awards earned.
All my life I have shied away from self-help books except for official instructions on how to accomplish something. I'm very good at learning what I need to know. As far as your book is concerned, the only thing that I'm not well versed in, is promotion. But I have a very good book, 90 Ways To Promote Your Book In 90 Days, that I've only gone 10 days on, and that is my problem. I've never been a very good salesman and don't like rejection. But I've had a lot of success to offset seeking help and never get in a rut when it comes to writing, currently writing two books that I've put off for a very long time and writing short stories every time I come up with an idea.
Congrats on your success and willingness to help others.
