A step-by-step guide filled with proven and successful techniques for writing a self-help book that transforms readers’ lives.

I learned a lot from How to Write a Self-Help Book by Ginny Carter...It covers the book writing process right from planning the structure of your book before you even put pen to paper, all the way to publishing and marketing. It was a treat that the author gave examples of books to demonstrate each format. This is a very specific book designed for a fledgling self-help author, and if that’s you (like me) you'll find it invaluable. - NetGalley
This is a short book but it really packs in a lot of useful information about writing a self help book. I’ve read a lot of books on writing nonfiction but I was very impressed with how much I learned from this one - everything is presented clearly and succinctly and is full of useful tips and guidance. We learn about planning and outlining the book, choosing a topic, considering the intended reader, writing persuasively, finding your voice, as well as editing and publishing. It is very well-written and not at all dry, and was a very enjoyable read. I highly recommended this book to anyone who wants to write nonfiction, not just self-help. - NetGalley
