HELEN TRIES IT: I just got Bill and Teresa Peschel’s book Career Indie Author: Tell Your Stories and Build a Business That Will Last a Lifetime in the mail and started reading right away. It is a very straightforward and easy read if you want to write and self-publish a first book (or fifth) and understand quickly how to set up a business plan (it’s one page!), pay your taxes and even advertise your work. There is even a good section on how to make up a mailing list that came in handy for Helen’s page. If you are an aspiring writer or a seasoned one, check out the book, it’s informative and worth your time. (Bumped)
