Business Essentials for Writers by James P. Nettles

This book is essential for anyone trying to make a living from their writing. There’s more information presented than I can go into in a review. The book offers a high-level overview of all aspects of the writing business. It goes over everything from websites, marketing, and accounting and less common topics like trademarks, public domain, and writing a business plan.

This book doesn’t go into great depth on most of the subjects. It’s great as a general overview so you can find out all the things you should be thinking about but didn’t know. I wish I had when I was getting started. The last decade would have been so much easier.

If you trying to make it as a writer do yourself a favor and get this book. It will open your eyes to all the aspects of the writing business you've been missing.
