The book was a promotion of online content the author was trying to sell.
It was 99% hype. Save your money & don't buy this book.
This book was all about cheap sales of the lowest kind
 Everything You Need to Know to Author a Book, Plus More! August 14, 2008

This book is by far one of the best ones about this topic in the marketplace!
Glenn Dietzel does exactly what he encourages the readers to do in their own books--he uses his own experiences to make "information" applicable to our unique situations. He lays out a road map that will take us from unpublished to published in record time, plus he teaches us how to position ourselves in a way that will also bring in lots of money from our own book sales!
I am not a published book author (yet), but I am a writer and have years of writing experience. Glenn's system is sure to take me to the next level, which is being a published author. Just reading the section about breaking free from the emotional blocks that keep us from becoming the person we are supposed to become is worth the price of this book! I realize that this is exactly what has been holding me back. Thankfully, Glenn has thought through everything and has even provided tips to help the reader overcome obstacles to success.
This book goes beyond the mere information found in most other books. Glenn answers those all-important "why" and "how" questions that are missing from most other books.
If you want information only, then maybe you should not buy this book. If you want a clearly defined road map that will tell you exactly what you need to know to reach your goal of being a published (and profitable) author, then buy this book with confidence! More importantly, read every page with pen in hand, and take notes! If you APPLY this to your own life, then you are sure to "Author and Grow Rich!"
 Author an e-book, publish, and repurpose for big $$$$!!! July 25, 2008

To a great extent, some pretty basic stuff here. If you don't write, never have written, don't know how to generate ideas, have writer's block or any of the above, this is the book for you. But there's more . . .
A&GR has some good points but, after all, it is just a book, or as the marketing world describes it (also the author, Glen Dietzel) a brochure or business card (no one gets rich writing books). It is Dietzel's business card--first in the line of products that works as a foundation for re-purposing and profit building. He tells you that your book will build a business (as Dietzel has) and the repurposed or reworked material in the book will be made into CD's, DVD's, work books, classes, seminars, and so on.
That's the other part of the book or beyond the book. But let's get back to the book, shall we? (Did I say book enough here? No? OK. Book. Book. Book. ;=) )
Let's take a look at the marketing of the book to get an idea as to how successful aspects of marketing work and how some of the contemporary ideas expressed by Dietzel and others like Dan Kennedy (super marketing guru) and Alex Mandossian (top freelance direct marketer [infomercials: QVC, HSN), teleseminar, virtual book tour, and podcast guru) play out. If you've read a lot, you'll see Kennedy's, Mandosian's and the hands of others (Mark Victor Hansen, Napoleon Hill, et. al) all over this book.
To promote, it is best to get others to say good stuff about you than you. A Dan Kennedy supported approach. So Dietzel has done this in droves: over 20 pages of blurbs open the book! Dan Kennedy has said the more the merrier. Don't be afraid of too many supportive blurbs. However, on one of his teleseminars on web page testing, it was discovered that a sales page without blurbs did better than the same sales page with. Go figure. Maybe the age of "If you've got big-name supporters, I'll buy" is coming to a close. I know I, like many, now ignore this often overused ploy. Nevertheless, onto the book . . .
Dietzel begins by defining what an Entrepreneurial Author is to get your head into the game with clear definitions, what a marketing funnel is (yeah, you're a writer but to be successful with your book ya gotta know how to market, just ask Robert Kiyosaki--was a big advertiser in RTIR [Radio Television Interview Report)], and Dietzel promotes, promotes, promotes his stuff. As any good marketer should. Lots of it found free on the Internet, leading up to his $5000 course, which you need in order to become successful at marketing your book, of course.
He's got a free get-your-head-right CD set, attached to a free 3 month trial to weekly "life-enhancing lessons" after which you'll pay $19 / month. But you can cancel any time. But this IS required reading / studying for success CAN'T HAPPEN if you don't have enough of you working right, meaning, that there's a lot of bad habits, thinking that needs to be nipped in the bud to take it to the next level. Very important! However, I think Dietzel, like Tony Robbins and other motivators, don't dedicate enough time to this highly important issue. For example, Tony Robbins mentions how only about 10% of those who buy his tapes listen to them. But he doesn't even say how many make them a life habit? Maybe 1% of the 10% who listen all the way through. So few are not doing because of deeper issues mere motivational or NLP techniques won't improve upon. But that's another topic.
Let's look at more of A&GR . . .
Dietzel does tell you how to generate ideas, free up time from you schedule to write, the importance of niche marketing, how to pick your niche--a good niche, how to prepare your mind and recognize your expertise, how to move from your comfort zone to a mindset of success, the authors mindset, creating a knowledge-based information business, goal setting and accomplishing, and so on.
To summarize, Dietzel does a good job of presenting some of the necessary information one needs to achieve the proper mindset to write and obtain success, what an info. business entails, some contemporary marketing issues--how to do so through the power of the Internet, and so on. But this has all been covered before by other gurus. And if you're motivated, know of the contemporary business environment, know how to write, then why buy this book. Ahhhhh, here's where it gets interesting.
Dietzel's biggest advantage is his connections ("how to gain instant access to a NY publisher) and experience. He's been there so you, the neophyte promoter of your e-book, don't have to waste time re-inventing the wheel.
And THIS is why you should buy the book (get the free stuff if you like) and sign up for his class. Of course, there's the discounted version ($400) but as Dietzel tells you, best not to waste your time with it because you need to speak to us to get things right the first time. Don't waste your time or money get the high ticket item. Good marketing, eh? Right.
Overall, it's pretty good. But if you're business savy, know how to write (or at least can generate ideas in a consistent and disciplined manor--don't need hand holding), get motivated, most of the basics Dietzel talks about, then it's best just to go to awakentheauthorwithin.com and sign up for an authoring program. And you may want to apply for a scholarship and get $2500 off Dietzel's Basic Authoring for Business Profit class.
Good Authoring!!!
Enjoyable read and good information July 21, 2008

This was an easy book to enjoy. It starts with a good introduction and moves into a lot of good reference content. I flagged my copy with many notes and applied the checklists to my existing writing project.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R25E2WQLHVSUR Hi, My name is Jim Chianese and I'm "The Profit Coach" to my clients.
Glenn Dietzel and this book exposes a concise system of authoring a book, but what is also delivered here is how to write a book in Glenn's "Speed to Market" fashion while also positioning yourself as an expert in your field.
In this video I explain how one chapter and what Glenn offers in that chapter helped my turn a [...] sales presentation into a free vehicle and a huge sale ($[...]) with an unfinished, not yet in print book!
I recommend this book to every entrepreneur I know.
