Ratings and reviews

An Inspiring Dive into the World Of Wide Remember when many people didn't realize there was an internet beyond AOL? That same mindset is still with us today, as many readers and authors assume Amazon is the only game in town. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Wide means so many things to so many people, and can be applicable even for authors who are in KU with eBooks. The author cracks open a whole world of opportunities for authors and stresses the importance of intellectual property rights and the many amazing ways authors can leverage them in a variety of formats. As a wide author, I was excited to read about opportunities I hadn't even fathomed, let alone considered. This book was a wonderful overview of the wide mindset and what it can truly mean. Inspiring and insightful, there's a wealth of information here and so much more to come in this series.

A generous book that gives a lot of suggestions on how to make it wide as an author. This is not the first book I read on the concept of publishing everywhere strategically your books. I am switching to the wide mindset myself, if not as quickly as I would like, and I have found Monica's tips and strategies to be quite similar to what other successful wide authors are suggesting. I did find a few info to be outdated or not accurate, but as Monica says it is really hard to get everything straight when talking about a subject so vast as wide publishing. There were several links (at least on the eBook version I read on Google Play Books) that did not work. It might be a problem only on my eBook. Overall I found a lot of value in this book, and I praise Monica's effort in writing about an extremely difficult subject in an easy and engaging way.

Nice so please give me 100 rupees
