OLD POST ALERT! This is an older post and although you might find some useful tips, any technical or publishing information is likely to be out of date.

Author 2.0 encapsulates the spirit of empowerment to create, publish, sell and promote with the amazing online tools available today.
I have sporadically updated it but now I have rewritten 95% of it to create a 52 page ebook packed with useful information on writing, publishing and book marketing.
The Blueprint is entirely free so please download and use whatever part of it resonates with you.
It's based on articles on the blog as well as information from other blogs. I link to many of the sites I personally find useful and I recommend further resources, some free and some paid, if you want to continue your research further.
Since The Creative Penn is a business these days, there are links to my own courses and affiliate links to others, but all of it is based on what I have found useful myself. I still aim to save you time, money and heartache on the writer's journey, so I hope you find it useful.

Tons of useful information added to this one.
Thanks Joanna.
Thank you so much! I am looking forward to digging into this.
This will be a real help to people and I'm letting all the writers I'm in touch with know about it!
wow. thanks :)
I was actually just looking over the ebooks I have saved on my laptop and wondered if there might be an update to this one. Imagine my surprise when I came to your blog and saw this post at the very top!
Thanks so much for the excellent guide!
Thanks for providing these guidelines and inspiration. I have a practical question that perhaps you can and would care to answer. My favorite genres are sci fi and historical fiction, and my favorite authors write in those genres. For me as a writer, I would feel equally at home - I think - in either genre. From a commercial point of view, assuming all else being equal, through which of these two genres do you think I stand the best chance of obtaining commercial success?
Thanks in advance!
