How to Blog a Book : Write, Publish, and Promote Your Work One Post at a Time Book Review

Today I finished reading this useful book, How to Blog a Book : Write, Publish, and Promote Your Work One Post at a Time for Nina Amir.

From the founder of the National Nonfiction Writing Month. This is the Nonfiction version of the November challenge to write a book that holds each year.

The book is inspiring and educational.

It's about how you can write your book while writing a blog and then land a book contract with a traditional publisher or choose to self publish your book.

It gets you from the idea, book planning, business plan, book proposal, writing, blogging and marketing process to simple technical blogging knowledge for writers.

For example, some information like metrics, hits and blog visitor may be unknown for most writers while they are clear for bloggers.

Whether you are a blogger who wants to publish a book or you are an aspiring writer who wants to start the writing carrier, this book is for you.


For most of the success stories about bloggers who turned their blogs into books, success was a product of some factors:

Blogging on what you really love.
Focusing on a fine small niche.
Persistence.

The writer makes a simple success formula, you need to keep writing on what you love on a daily basis.

Writing a post of 300 words on average can get you about 110,000 words which makes about two books.


My personal experience with blogging and content has began from 2008.

I've always wanted to write and express my thoughts to the world. So I started writing my thoughts and experiments consistently.

I've been also interested in writing about technical subjects like wind energy and embedded systems.

And then I found myself writing easily. So I decided to self publish my books by converting content from my blogs into books and adding new content to it.

You can give it a try and read this book to get you in the mood of writing and publishing.

Now I've started to read a new book mentioned in this book as a blog turned into a successful best selling book. This book is titled:

Escape from cubicle nation.
