Good guidance
I wrote my first nonfiction book for girls 9-14. Although this book is geared to fiction writers, the ideas apply to nonfiction as well. It’s short and to the point. I will recommend it to other authors

A practical guide for self-published authors
This short and simple guide explains how to get your book into schools. The author provides a business plan using his own experience marketing his novel to high schools. He breaks the process into easy steps such as focusing on one area or one school district at first. The short chapters provide explanations on how he created his sales materials, and solved issues with printing, publishing and delivery to schools. I'm glad the author included sections about the financial aspects such as sales tax, IRS forms, discounts and purchase orders. The advice to 'write your next book' while waiting to get that first order is important for self-published authors. I gave the book 5 stars because it is so well-written.

Honest and clear, this little volume describes the path the author took to get his book on a large district's summer required reading list. He outlines the challenges and pitfalls, the do's and don'ts, and how to accept both failure and success.
Like all successful authors, he admits that some of his success is luck. I appreciate that honesty. I'll try his ideas myself -- fingers crossed I have the same luck!

The book is well put together. Very informative. However, it is best to read all the way through because some important information on other topics is sprinkled throughout. If you do that you can miss additional pointers on another topic inside a chapter of a different topic. In other words, do not spot read or use the topic titles as an outline to go directly to the subject you think you need information about and skip chapters along the way.
