In this primer that Publishers Weekly says, "aspiring authors will want to study," prospective nonfiction authors will learn insight and advice from industry insiders.



So many people want to write a book. They dream of holding their work in their hands, seeing their name on the spine. They feel passionate and invigorated, ready to take action. They know it won't be easy; it takes grit, initiative, and commitment. But with the right mindset and the right plan, publishing a book is within every writer's reach.



In Hungry Authors:The Indispensable Guide to Planning, Writing, and Publishing a Nonfiction Book, writers and publishing experts Liz Morrow and Ariel Curry offer aspiring authors an engaging, hands-on resource that includes:



  • Hope and optimism about the publishing landscape
  • A fresh and humorous perspective on the work and business of being a writer
  • A practical roadmap for ideating, planning, writing, and publishing a book
  • Tips and tricks for how to get an agent or publisher's attention, even without a huge platform
  • Access to dozens of extra resources on the accompanying website, www.hungryauthors.com


Good books don't happen by accident. They happen because the author has a plan every step of the way, from their book's structure to the publishing path that's best for them. Any author with a great idea and a boatload of gumption can write and publish an impactful nonfiction book, and Hungry Authors is the tool every writer needs to make that happen.

Industry Reviews

Morrow and Curry offer practical suggestions on every step of the writing and publication process. Of particular use is their insight into the pros and cons of various publishing models; self-publishing, they note, provides complete creative control, but places manufacturing costs on the author, while hybrid publishing promises higher royalties, but requires writers to pay for marketing. Aspiring authors will want to study this.
