13 Books on Writing and Self-Publishing

So how is writing and kindle publishing related to habit change?

Let’s be frank, it isn’t.

I also publish a blog on kindle publishing, and I know quite a few readers from that blog also check out my habits blog. So for those simply interested in changing habits -the list is done…

…But for those of you who are interesting in writing and Kindle publishing, I thought collecting a few of my favorite books on the topics might be something worthwhile.

This list is by no means complete. To write an exhaustive list of all the books that help with finding ideas, writing, editing, proof-reading, and kindle publishing, this “add-on” list would be nearly as long (or longer) than the habits list.

Eventually I will do that on my kindle publishing blog, but for now enjoy this shorter list of some of the best books for writing and publishing. Hopefully, you already recognize many of these great books.

Book Summary -Blinkest

A Smarter You in 15 Minutes?

If you enjoy reading nonfiction books, then I encourage you to check out the Blinkist app.

Blinkist is an interesting concept…

Blinkist summarized over 2,000 of the bestselling books and put them into condensed 7 to 15 minute reads (or “blinks”).  The idea here is to give you the key insights and important lessons — without wasting your time on pointless information.

Blinkist book summaries are perfect for anyone who wants to maximize those random moments when you have to kill time. Like when you want to kill time before an appointment or you’re standing on a long line at Starbucks.

You can use Blinkist to complete a book daily, learn the valuable lessons, and avoid the fluff that often pad longer books.
