The Story Behind the Birth of this Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you know what\u2019s the hardest part of bringing out a book? Most would say its finding a good publisher. Some would say its the marketing part. But the hard truth is that its the writing part! That\u2019s right. Its the content, the most crucial part of the book, that\u2019s the hardest.<\/p>\n

\u2018I Want to Author a Book\u2019 is among the top of the ‘Bucket-list’ for many people. Yet, very few go on to accomplish the goal of publishing a book. I faced that problem. For nine consecutive years, I failed as an author until I took advice from a wise old man. That one meeting helped me overcome my hurdles and now I\u2019ve got five books<\/a> in my kitty.<\/p>\n

It was this experience, that motivated me to compile this book together and to organize the Book Authoring Workshop<\/a> (for first time authors) and the ‘Writers’ Retreat’<\/a> for published authors.<\/p>\n

The Person Behind this Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Kiruba Shankar<\/a>, a digital entrepreneur<\/a>, professor<\/a> and farmer<\/a>.\u00a0 What\u2019s more relevant here is that I’ve struggled for many years to finish my first book. After following the advice of many authors, its paved the way for me to author five books. This gives me the experience to share with you my learning and advice from successful authors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
