Foreword by SJ Hodges. Special thanks to SpacePen.com. Author Power is packed with invaluable information, stories, road maps, and experiences about how to empower yourself as an author, publisher, marketer, and impresario.

This is a comprehensive approach to a new way of publishing that puts the economic power in the pen and wallet of the author to continue to create and build win-wins for authors, publishers, and additional value for readers. This book teaches you how to leverage the advent of technology and changing economic models to protect the livelihood of the creator. It guides impresario authors through every step in a new way of publishing, whether it's self-publishing, hybrid or partnership publishing, or even traditional publishing.
