Resumen del Editor

A book is not about something. A book is for someone.

You want to write a nonfiction book that matters. Book readers love and rave about a book they underline, dog-ear, and highlight. How do you do that, when you’ve never written a book like that before, when you aren’t sure what content to include in a nonfiction book, or how to organize it? And when you’re not sure if your idea is worth pursuing in the first place?

At the heart of the answers to all these questions is a craft created by A. J. Harper, ghostwriter and editor for some of the foremost thought leaders of our time. The foundation of that craft is a simple, yet powerful philosophy: Reader first. When you learn how to put your reader first at every stage of book development, writing, and editing, you can create the connection and trust required to transform their lives.

In this audiobook, Harper reveals the proven methods and frameworks she has used for nearly two decades to write and edit perennial best sellers. It’s not the easy way or the fast way; it’s the effective way. The payoff for doing this important work: a must-read book, and a massive readership who serve as ambassadors for your message and your brand.

Game Changer!

I wish I’d found this book before I wrote my first book. Now, heading into writing my third, I’m confident it will be more impactful! AJ’s writing is interesting, funny, and incredibly useful. You’ll walk away thinking it was written for you. And she’ll teach you how to give YOUR readers the same experience.

If only I had read this sooner!

Thank you AJ for writing a book that confirmed all the mistakes I have made along my book writing journey. Your book not only inspired me for the journey ahead but gave me great ideas to take with me!

Knock your socks off good

This is a book you will share with others. It might have been shared with you, like it was with me.
If you want to understand the art of books, listen and keep your notebook handy.
Happy reading, and happier writing!

this book is a masterpiece!

write a must-read by AJ Harper changed my life! Not only that, it is changing the lives of people all over the world because she is enabling authors to share their messages. I because the book is so good, I read it first and then listened to the audible. AJ‘s performance in the recording makes the Audible come to life! I felt like we were sitting in a room and talking together because AJ is 100% authentic and her motive is to empower authors to believe in themselves, create a truly outstanding book, and to be a good person while doing it. Check check check.

Write A Must-Read is Fabulous!

It will most definitely be one of the few books that I will continue referencing for the rest of my life. I'd recommend it to anyone who writes (even if you have already published a book), including writing college papers, blogs, or articles. AJ’s emphasis on putting the reader first is a central theme for which she provides plenty of useful examples. It’s already helping me organize my content in a clearer, more streamlined fashion. Hopefully, that results in readers finding my writing more enjoyable, too. The Audible version is great because it's the author’s voice and I could listen on my walks. However, within the first 20 minutes I ordered the hard cover, too. I knew I’d want to flip back through specific sections and have it out on the table when I’m writing. Now, when I get stuck, I can hear the author’s voice asking, “does the content/story/data/antidote serve your reader?” That simple question makes it easier to get out of head, keeps my pen moving, and thoughts flowing. Thank you for sharing all of your amazing experience and knowledge, AJ!!

Jump start your must-read!

This book gave me the courage, the steps and the actual formula to get the book that I’ve been saying I would write for the past 8 years actually off to the races. It’s like babywise for book writers. I could not be more grateful to AJ for the generous way she shared not just fluff but an actual process to get going and make something that will change lives. THANK YOU AJ.

Excellent and helpful

I've written three books/audiobooks, two of the transformational nonfiction type this focuses on, and it'd have helped in various ways to have read this first. I found AJ through Mike M (I've read all the books they've co-authored) via a video the two did together. I'll be recommending this to others. Thanks A. J. for writing this!

A must read (no pun intended) for those writing nonfiction

I picked this up at the recommendation of someone. It’s an absolute treasure for first time (and other) nonfiction writers. My only complaint is that I found it too late. I wish I had this book before I started writing and not near the end of my first rough draft. As compelling as it it practical this book removes all excuses from you as a writer to actually write a must read book. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Un libro con tips valiosos

Tiene información valiosa, solo me hubiera gustado que fuera más corto. Algunos capítulos están alargados innecesariamente. También creo que debería tener un PDF con los ejercícios a realizar para la versión en audio. Los capítulos finales pueden ser útiles para quien está deciendo decidiendo la forma de publicar pero, no aportan mucho a quien ya conoce las diferentes alternativas y ya ha publicado.
