About this listen
In 2013, Johnny B. Truant and Sean Platt published 1.5 million words and made their full-time livings as indie authors. In Write. Publish. Repeat., they tell you how exactly how they did it: How they created over 15 independent franchises across 50+ published works, how they turned their art into a logical, sustainable business, and how any independent author can do the same to build a sustainable, profitable career with their writing. Write. Publish. Repeat. explains the current self-publishing landscape and covers the truths and myths about what it means to be an indie author now and in the foreseeable future. It explains how to create books your readers will love and will want to return to again and again. Write. Publish. Repeat. details expert methods for building story worlds, characters, and plots, understanding your market (right down to your ideal reader), using the best tools possible to capture your draft, and explains proven best practices for editing. The audiobook also discusses covers, titles, formatting, pricing, and publishing to multiple platforms, plus a bit on getting your books into print (and why that might not be a good idea!). But most importantly, Write. Publish. Repeat. details the psychology-driven marketing plan that Sean and Johnny built to shape their stories into "products" that readers couldn't help but be drawn into - thus almost automatically generating sales - and explores ways that smart, business-minded writers can do the same to future-proof their careers. This audiobook is not a formula with an easy path to follow. It is a guidebook that will help you build a successful indie publishing career, no matter what type of writer you are...so long as you're the type who's willing to do the work.

Are you tired of "how to publish books" that are full of fluff and no real information? I was, too. I determined to jump in and learn for myself - and that's exactly what I did. I started with my first book, How to Work from Home and Make Money, and then quickly published three more. I was looking for the topic of my fifth book when it hit me - why not share what I've learned with the people who still haven't made the leap and published their own book?

Do you want to successfully self-publish in eBook, print, or audiobook formats? There are thousands of new books being published every day, but many self-published books quickly sink to the bottom of the pile. Many authors are frustrated because there are so many options for self-publishing, and they don't know which one to choose or what will be best for their book. Others spend thousands of dollars to publish and end up brokenhearted with the result. But it doesn't have to be this way.

“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999—and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery.

But it's nowhere near impossible. And it's far more doable than you can imagine.

Marketing a book is difficult for most authors. It takes an incredible lot of time, and often for no measurable results in sales. Some of you may have spent hours, days, weeks, even months, writing blogs, getting active on Facebook and Twitter in order to promote your book. Then you look at your sales figures for the last weeks or months, and your heart sinks. Why isn't this working? In this audiobook I am going to show you the secrets many of the more successful authors use to help promote and sell their books on Amazon.

This isn't your ordinary "book about writing books." It's real, no-BS advice from someone who's done it—and has learned from the dozens of successes and failures of himself and his clients—from self-help to memoir to business, and everything in between. It demystifies every single step of the book writing process, from ideation to validation to outlining to writing habits, publishing and marketing.

Writing and self-publishing on Amazon can sound like a dream, but it's much simpler than you think. With the publishing tools Amazon has available - Kindle, CreateSpace, ACX - it would be easy to get overwhelmed, though. Still, self-publishing is an easy way to get your content out to the most listeners as quickly as possible on a globally distributed platform in various digital, paperback, hard cover, audio CD, and downloadable audiobook formats.

Learning how to write a book is easy. Learning how to write a book that doesn't suck and can actually make you money - and set you up for a full-time writing career is harder.
But it's nowhere near impossible. And it's far more doable than you can imagine. The trouble is, most books offering tips on how to write a book fail to address two key considersations: 1) Most self-published nonfiction books suck. 2) It's almost impossible to make a living from one self-published nonfiction book.

It's every novelist's greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page-one rewrite. The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot).

The Best Of It's Kind
What made the experience of listening to Write. Publish. Repeat. the most enjoyable?
The knowledge and experience of the writers is fantastic. There's a lot of "how to write" books out there. If you research the writers of those books, you'll find that, a lot of the time, the "how to write" books are the only books they've written. "Write. Publish. Repeat." is different because the authors make their living writing and publishing their fiction.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Write. Publish. Repeat.?
The part about marketing your work. Not only do they present great ideas to ad to your marketing efforts, but those ideas inspired other ideas of my own.
Which scene was your favorite?
It's non-fiction. There aren't "scenes". Unless you count the decoy wallet.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Write. Publish. Repeat.?
Where do I start? The book is jammed full of insight! Everyone will find things in this book that will motivate them and push them in the right direction. Whether you're trying to write your book or get it in front of readers, this book has you covered.
Any additional comments?
The writers of this book are so genuine. They don't flood you with things that are too good to be true. They are upfront and honest, teaching you how they've become successful and using their own experiences as examples. I bought the ebook when it came out. It's a big book, but I read it in two sittings. I was hooked! The day the audiobook came out, I bought it. I listen to it at work. It's so motivating, I can't wait for the workday to be over so I can get home and start writing. The first book of my series is out and I don't think that would be the case if it weren't for the work these guys do. If you're a writer looking to self-publish your work, this book is required reading!

MUST Read for Indie Authors
Before picking up, "Write. Publish. Repeat." I knew nothing of the authors. I bought the book because I was searching answers in my quest to make a living as an independent author.
After reading this book I don't have all the answers, but now I have a better understanding of what it will take in terms of effort, perseverance, and resilience to make a living wage as an independent author.
The thing is, it's not easy, and to their credit the authors never pretend it is. It is doable, and at least from a marketing and technology standpoint this book gives you some good pointers.
There are two areas where the audio falls short. The first, which Johnny and Sean admit themselves, is that the book doesn't teach you how to write fiction. It doesn't really teach you how to write. It just says write a lot of good fiction, find an audience, and sell them related books.
Of course, "Write. Publish. Repeat." does have some specific suggestions on how to do that.
The reason I gave the overall product four stars is because it's not meant to be read in one sitting. And if you're just listening it's hard to navigate and find the section of the book you need to listen to at any given moment. I had to buy the e-book to facilitate my navigation of the material.
It was well worth it and I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get serious about self-publishing.

Thank baby Jesus for this book.
I have been doing a lot of research on self publishing. This, by far, is the greatest resource so far. There is practical advice you can implement right away but the best part about this instructional book is that it is, at times, hilarious!

Excellent marketing book
I bought this book with the intention of using it as a marketing tool. The authors manage to convey a fantastic view of what the self-publishing landscape looks like. They are not presenting unreasonable, unrealistic, magic solutions. Their advice and suggestions are manageable and wholly within the reach of anyone wanting to self-publish.

The title promises to be about approaching writing from a business standpoint and that is exactly what it does. Would recommend for people who want to write for a business.

Ahead of their time
What did you love best about Write. Publish. Repeat.?
I loved the fact that they brought to my attention a very new perspective to being an author. They make self-publishing look cool.
What other book might you compare Write. Publish. Repeat. to and why?
There are no books out there that can be compared to this one. Maybe Stephen King On Writing but not really. This book is part how they arrived to their current writing lifestyle and part how to but with a very different flavor.
What does Simon Whistler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The accent? He did a great job and definitely doesn't lower the quality of the material.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Write. Publish. Repeat.?
I will Write. Publish. Repeat. I will also be mindful of funnels and CTA's which I had not clue about before this book.
Any additional comments?
If you want to get an idea of what life as a writer can be like and hints at ways that it will be like in the near future get this book. If you want to learn techniques that were used in the days of Charles Dickens which are still valid today and tomorrow. Get this book. Just get the book already!

Thorough (and long) A-Z guide
I liked this book and provided me good insights to write and publish my first book. My impression is that it's too long at some points given the explanations have a lot of background to make the message go through and be understood correctly.
