“Before Your First Book” by Jeff Goins

Recently, I had the opportunity to download a copy of Jeff Goins’ new eBook, Before Your First Book – 5 Tips to Getting Published Now, as well as a copy of his eBook, Every Writer’s Dream.

As an “aspiring” writer, I have found Jeff’s blog, weekly newsletter, and eBooks to be incredibly informative, encouraging, and motivating. Jeff is a writer who truly writes for the love of it, and he is so generous in sharing the tips and tricks he has learned in his writing journey with his readers. I highly recommend you follow him if you are interested in seeing your writing grow!

I just love the “tagline” that Jeff has added to Before Your First Book:

“Written for your satisfaction, butt-kicking, and general enjoyment.”

If that doesn’t tell you that this book is a down-to-earth and helpful resource, I’m not sure what will!

Since I’m sharing this post on a Tuesday, I’ve decided to do it “Top Ten Tuesday” style… and be sure to check out the end for an AWESOME giveaway from Jeff!

Ten Awesome Quotes from Before Your First Book:

#1 – “It doesn’t take long… to realize that getting published isn’t easy. It takes hard work, thick skin, and perseverance.”

#2 – “Too many people dream of one day publishing a book or getting a piece featured in a magazine without first counting the cost.”

#3 – “Most writers are content to dream, but they aren’t prepared to do the work. So they fail before they begin.”

#4 – “The best way to practice is to do it in public.”

#5 – “Publishing a book begins not with a manuscript, but with a baby step.”

#6 – “Stop waiting for permission and prepare to do the work.”

#7 – “Relationship and conversation are more important than good ideas and great writing.”

#8 – “You don’t get to decide what makes a good idea. The publisher does.”

#9 – “For every hundred words I write, I spend about thirty to sixty minutes of editing and rewriting.”

#10 – “Under-promise and over-deliver, and you’ll likely not have to go looking for work again.”
