You might be surprised at how much the process of building a house can teach us about writing, designing, and publishing a book. Authors Yvonne DiVita and Tom Collins combine decades of experience in both house building and book building to share with you in this insightful, inspiring, and yet practical how-to book.
From foundation to flooring, from fixtures to furnishings, they reveal how the steps in a home construction or renovation project give us important guidance on the essential sequence to follow from your idea to your first book signing appearance! Part 1 lays out the steps and shows how the seemingly disparate kinds of work really do correlate.
Part 2 examines each step in building a quality book in depth, with lots of practical tips from these two book publishing veterans.
Then, in Part 3, they treat you to more than a dozen "Stories from the Trenches" by a group of published authors they've gotten to know over the years, including Guy Kawasaki, Ellen Langas, Robert W. Bly, Michele Miller, Andrea Learned, and Dick Richards, to name a few.
You'll come away knowing not just how to write your book, but how to publish and market it, too. And with a new confidence that you can become "the author of ..."!
Raves from the galley readers:
"Aspiring authors ... quit planning to write your book. Get this one! Spend a weekend with it, get fired up, and get going!"
— Anita Campbell, Founder and CEO of Small Business Trends
"A great primer for bringing authorial dreams to life! The authors’ analogy to building a house is a great way to frame the need for conscious planning, solid foundations, and creative design in creating a successful publication."
— Katherine McGraw Patterson (KP), Business Strategy, Speaker, Founder of WEBO Network, author of Lunching with Lions: Strategies for the Networking-Averse
"A gem! Covers all the bases with wonderful, vital, essential insights and tips for producing your book."
— Lonnee Rey, host of the “Midlife My Ass, I’m just getting started!” podcast, and #1 International Best-Selling author of Life lessons learned from a lousy mother

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
