A lot of the business articles I’ve written I’m planning to synthesize into a book about the basics of project management, and strategies to be well-liked at your job. It’ll be edited, have a little less dry humor than you oh wonderful reader are used to, and be more organized than my average post, but will still try to have my personality in it.
Here’s why I’m doing it. First, I want a little more of an active presence on what I’m writing. For some reason, regardless of quality, books are seen as ‘serious work’ even though a lot of books are just written to help people get on the speaker circuit. Having the credential of author makes me look incredibly credible. Plus, it is an effective exercise in organizing thoughts.
Generally, I think my expertise is within the following areas: civil & uncivil disagreements, bragging and tricks to rise in the corporate hierarchy relatively quickly, persuasion in general, and project management. I’m probably going to finish my project management project first because I’ve written the most about it, and find someone a little better known to approach writing the persuasion / debate book.
Have any of you written an e-book before? Any tips or tricks you think I should incorporate? If I end up using your advice, I’ll make sure to include it in the forward that you helped me.
Thanks,
Izzy
