Excerpt from the Book:

Several authors tell me that they wrote the book they wish they had read earlier in their own careers. The write for their former selves.

That might sound egocentric or seem to contradict my advice about writing for others. But in many ways, it's brilliant strategy because it builds empathy for the reader. You can picture the reader quite clearly because you were that reader.

Serving your former self is one way to connect with your audience.

My Thoughts:

Get the Word Out is a very good manual for writing a nonfiction book. Anne Jenzer guides you through various steps of writing a book. It is easy to understand, and it is a practical guide suitable for all who want to write a nonfiction book or those who already have some experience.

I like it when nonfiction authors narrate their own audiobooks; it feels more genuine because of that. The author’s voice is pleasant.
