Everyone Wants to Be an Author


 
That's almost correct.

Actually, according to statistics, 4 out of 5 people want to write a book, which translates to 80% of the population.  That's a pretty good number of people who want to write a book.

As a writer, I would say that about 80% of the people I talk to say they want to write a book when they hear that I am a writer.  So, I guess it is safe to say that there are a whole lot of people out there who either want to write a book, are writing a book (and have been for years and years), or have several manuscripts lying about, but they haven't figured out what to do with them.

America's Author Maker is designed to help all you folks come out of the closet.  Our goal is to guide you step-by-step through the seemingly dangerous and treacherous (OK, it's actually not that bad) path to getting your book written and in print.

The next post is going to deal with some of the reasons people don't ever get their book written.  Look for it!

Best,

Kathleen
