As a writer with a marketing background, I approve

I've made my living as a copywriter, marketing manager, marketing consultant, etc. and I've written some fiction at a hobbyist level and been unsure how to translate my marketing know-how to publishing. Tao Wong does a great job of demonstrating how general marketing principles apply to self-publishing with hands-on experience making his insights all the more useful.

Even if I don't use the information in this book to self-publish in the future, it was very interesting to see the author-side experience of self-publishing on display here. It's so easy to read books by prolific authors (like Tao Wong or, on the conventional publishing side, Brandon Sanderson) and not think about the very practical cost/benefit considerations they face. Clearly it's no accident that Tao Wong is such a successful independent author.
