The Authorpreneur Handbook - by Angela Yarber (Paperback)

About the Book

The publishing industry wasn't built for feminist, queer, and BIPOC writers. Here's the handbook that changes everything-from someone who broke the system.

Book Synopsis

Your book deserves to exist. And you deserve to thrive while writing it.

Not struggle. Not barely get by. Thrive.

But only 16% of published books are by LGBTQ+ authors. Only 11% by BIPOC writers. The system wasn't designed for marginalized voices, so the usual advice doesn't work for us.

The Authorpreneur Handbook offers a different path. Instead of assuming that you have privilege, connections, and traditional career stability, it's designed to help YOU: a marginalized writer who needs practical strategies that align with your values and work with your reality.

You'll learn:

• How to structure content that resonates with readers who share your values
• Marketing strategies designed for marginalized authors
• How to build a sustainable writing practice alongside or instead of your day job
• Ways to generate income from your book beyond hoping for sales

The Authorpreneur Handbook has helped feminist, queer, and BIPOC authors become #1 Amazon bestsellers, get featured in Forbes and NPR, leave toxic jobs in academia and ministry, and build financially abundant lives doing work that matters.

For writers who:

• Are feminist, queer, disabled, BIPOC, or otherwise marginalized
• Have a book idea but don't know if anyone will buy it
• Want to make money writing
• Need marketing strategies that align with justice-centered values
• Are ready to start building the writing life they deserve

Dr. Angela Yarber is the award-winning author of ten books and founder of Tehom Center Publishing, a press dedicated to elevating marginalized voices. She's been featured in Forbes, HuffPost, Ms. Magazine, NPR, and more. After publishing with four different presses that didn't understand feminist and queer authors, she created Tehom Center Publishing-and this handbook-to change the game.

The publishing industry wasn't designed for us. This handbook is.
