I believe that people have much to gain from making sure that authors, artists, publishers and promoters are compensated, while using and getting works like songs, books, audiobooks and so on.

Most people have thought about publishing a book, but the majority will never even begin writing one. Why? The process can seem daunting.

They'd rather stay in the 9-5 jobs they hate instead of taking the leap and doing what they love for a living. The thing is, the information out there is skewed. And, sometimes, flat out wrong. Those statistics don't take into account the thousands and thousands of mid-list authors who make a comfortable living from their writing, sometimes far more.

Underqualified Advice (and Other Amusing Diversions) is my attempt to compile those lessons and share them with others, as well as have some fun along the way. Half of the book is dedicated to detailing specifics about writing, maneuvering the industry, and keeping fiscally afloat in largely unstable waters.
