About the Book

NEW! - UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY! After 30 years of writing for a living, and having published over 30 Kindle books, I now reveal my most precious secret: The Five Step Formula for Writers and Books Publishers. The formula has served me well for three decades. You can use it when writing a new book, short-story, article, research paper, advertisement, or any other form of creative writing -fiction & non-fiction. Apply it to determine your book´s niche, keywords, theme, title, and table of contents, as well as your promotional and marketing strategy. And if you´re writing fiction, it is ideal for creating characters, plots and subplots, settings, descriptions, dialogues, narrations, etc.Spread your creative wings and try it out!
