An estimated 40 million self-help books are sold each year in the U.S., and service articles and reported essays make up the bulk of online and print magazine markets. These pieces are just information, they inspire, encourage and entertain. Service and self-help writing can change lives.
It’s also a ready-made market for authors.
Whether you want to write a book to help, inform, or inspire—or one that builds your brand and creates market growth and credibility for your business—the self-help market provides an opportunity for authors looking to traditionally or independently publish.
What does it take? The elements of a strong self-help book or service article emerge from your lived experience, interests, training, and perspective, supported by research, expert interviews, and real-world anecdotes.
But how do you write a book that only you can write? One that shares your unique experience and expertise in a way that connects with readers, like the books written by Stephen Covey, James Clear, Mel Robbins, and many others? How do you create service articles that inspire action and appeal to editors and readers?
In this dynamic live webinar, Polly Campbell—author of four personal development books and hundreds of published service articles—will explain how to push back self-doubt, find your voice, develop a focused idea, create structure and write work that helps readers.
