Have you ever heard someone say,

This book changed my life?

As powerful as that statement is, there are 7 OTHER reasons you might want to get published too. In my writing career of 10+ years, with 6 traditionally published books, here’s 8 reasons I’ve identified:

• (1) Create value 

People say, “Your book helped me.”

• (2) Make a contribution 

People say, “Your book changed me.”

• (3) Address a need

People say, “Your book showed me the path.”

• (4) Communicate a message

People say, “Your book moved me.”

• (5) Expose injustice

People say, “Your book opened my eyes.”

• (6) Solve a problem

People say, “Your book gave me a solution. “

• (7) Gain credibility

People say, “Your book made me believe in you.”

• (8) Increase Influence, Impact, Income

People say, “I loved your book, and I want to take the next step.”
