Dan Shafer is the author of more than 60 books, the vast majority of which have been computer technology titles published by traditional publishing houses. He has also written on spiritual subjects and technology user books. He has a knack for explaining difficult ideas of all kinds in simple-to-understand terms.
With a witty, irreverent stye, Dan shares his views on:
- the importance of outlining and the basic techniques involved
- how to identify and understand your target audience
- overcoming writer's block (he has a specific technique that might just be worth the price of the book)
- self-marketing
and several others.
Dan has made a full-time living as a writer for more than 35 years, so he's eminently qualified to offer these insights and tidbits. And you'll do well to read them and implement those that make sense for you as a writer.
