I admit it–I hate to make mistakes.

Maybe it stems from when my first-grade teacher made us take the erasers off our pencils. “Erasers encourage mistakes,” she said. (I am not making this up. This teacher was nutso.)

Once I realized I’d made a mistake on a math problem in her class. I erased it as carefully as I could. The teacher still marked it wrong–because I’d erased it and corrected it!

Of course, I’ve continued to make many, many mistakes in my life.

I’ve made mistakes as an author, too. Mistakes that have cost me time and money.

Mistakes that even caused me to fail at times. (If failure means low sales and books going out of print.)

I want to help you avoid the mistakes I’ve made as an author.

Truth is, I’m not the only author who’s made these mistakes. In fact, I estimate that somewhere around 95 percent of authors make at least one of these mistakes.

You won’t make any of these mistakes, however.

That’s because I’m going to tell you what they are, and I’m going to tell you how to avoid them.

Read this week’s article called “Start Your Book Right–Avoid the 7 Mistakes 95 Percent of Authors Make” and you’ll know how to avoid these common mistakes. I even give you three specific steps you can
take to put what you learn into action right away.
