Today is Sarah Woods's 12th birthday, so I'm spending the day with her. But here's what I've got for you.

Having published 14 books myself, including two New York Times bestsellers, I know a little something about how to outline, write, edit, publish and market a book, as well as how to actually generate some dough with it.

My Woods Author Academy, on a massive sale until midnight tonight, doesn't require you to be on live calls. You can go through it at your own pace.

This is for any nonfiction book, but for you guys Ive been emphasizing the professional benefits of having your own book.

Here is but a sample of what you'll learn:

1. Why Write a Book? The Big-Picture Benefits

• Why your book royalties are the tip of the iceberg, and how to make your book generate other income streams for you that most authors know nothing about
• Why your audiobook -- which you might not have created -- can earn you more than your standard version
• How to use your book to sell more stuff to your readers, for years to come -- 99% of authors neglect this, which is why they’re in the poorhouse

2. Book Planning and Outlining

• How to outline your book in a single day
• The publishing paradox -- the wider the audience you aim for, the fewer sales you’ll make -- and how to avoid it

4. Writing Style and Readability

• My unforgettable way to start chapters so they grab your reader by the collar
• The danger of trying to "sound smart" in your prose
• How to avoid the hideous fourth-grade book-report style in which so many books are written, and sound like a real author instead

5. Grammar and Editing

• The crucial grammatical rules you MUST know (but may have forgotten, or never learned) if you don’t want to be embarrassed
• When the rules of grammar can (and must!) be broken

6. Collaboration and Special Book Types

• Want to co-author a book? Here’s the best way to do it so you and your co-author don’t become mortal enemies

7. Publishing Decisions

• How important is a traditional publisher? Myths and facts of traditional vs. self-publishing
