We are constantly looking for tips on what has really worked for you. Please send us your writing tip to Kiruba @ Kiruba.com along with your brief profile, your photograph and links to your website or Facebook URL.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Is there a Facebook page for this book?<\/strong><br \/>\nNope. Did not create it consciously. I have only so much bandwidth to manage multiple pages. The book however has its own website. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiruba.com\/firstbook\/\">http:\/\/www.kiruba.com\/firstbook\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What motivated you to author this book?<\/strong><br \/>\nI struggled for 9 years before I could bring out my first book. It was a long frustrating journey. I learned a lot during my journey of publishing my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiruba.com\/books\" target=\"_blank\">5 books.<\/a> It was then I decided to learn all the lessons along the way and pass it on to anyone who wants to publish a book. That thought has expanded to including advice from bestselling authors worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Do you provide professional consulting for individuals? I\u2019m ready to pay.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou had my attention at \u2018ready to pay\u2019 !! \ud83d\ude42 I do consult individuals but be warned that my charges are steep. My time is limited and hence I\u2019m very choosy about who I choose to consult. For those who can\u2019t afford my personalized consulting, I would recommend you attend the Authoring workshops that I conduct.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>We would like to invite you to our college to talk about this subject.<\/strong><br \/>\nSure, happy to oblige and I love talking on the subject. Before inviting me, please spend a minute reading to read the checklist and the advantages of inviting me to speak at your place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How do you balance between a full-time consulting, having a family and being an author? How do you find the time?<\/strong><br \/>\nSimple. Marry a very understanding and supportive wife! \ud83d\ude42 Am not kidding. Besides this, I only do things that I\u2019m personally passionate and excited about. That\u2019s the secret.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>I\u2019m currently writing a book. Can I send you my manuscript for you to read and let me know your opinion?<\/strong><br \/>\nSorry. I would love to help but I simply don\u2019t have the bandwidth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Why did you choose to self-publish?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo get better flexibility. I did have two of my books published by real-world publishers and I noticed that they brings very little value in terms of marketing or distribution. Besides, I enjoyed being involved hands-on in every process of book creation and it gave me lots of satisfaction and experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the cost of the book?
