Dear Fellow Writer,
So, you’ve written a book or in the process of writing? It’s a subject you are passionate about. You feel strongly how your message could positively impact others, the same as it has for you. Your passion drives the commitment and dedication for your project.
A question every author needs to ask, however, is what is the purpose of your book? Is it intended for a small group – typically your family and social or business connections?
Or could your book serve to influence, inform, entertain or perhaps a life experience you have learned, benefit a far greater audience? Do you see it as a personal ambition, or even a sense of obligation that as many people as possible would benefit from your story or knowledge?
"Unless its just a hobby, you have to treat your book as a business" says Chris Herrmann, international travel expert, author and speaker. His advice comes from a background career in business. Experience that includes corporate management and in particular as a founder of a successful small business, recognised by a number of small business and entrepreneurial awards.
He has authored a number of children's story books (that’s another story) as well as family memoir books. These have been intended for close family and friends. He has also written business related books for a clear strategic business purpose.
His latest popular book, My Senior Gap Year (re published as The Youthful Art of Midlife Travel), attracted a broad range of media interest. From the BBC, USA, Australia, Europe and Asia, with numerous TV, radio, print and online media. My Senior Gap Year has also been published in Taiwan for the Chinese market.

They fail to reach their full potential because the hurdles seem too much, or because of the mistakes we unwittingly make.
But sometimes we just need to hear from someone else whose been there before you. To learn from their knowledge and success to let our dreams become a reality.
