Conquer Self-Publishing: A Project Management Approach to Your Book
Dear BIZVILLPM Community,
For many, the dream of writing a book lingers. But between workload and the fear of becoming the “hungry author,” it’s easy to put it off. This post, inspired by Mr. Mounir Ajam, serves as a reminder: every free PDF represents someone’s dedicated effort.
Now, imagine channeling your project management expertise into a self-published book. Here’s a breakdown of key roles, framed through a project management lens:
You: The Project Leader
You’ll oversee the entire process, from conception and scheduling to budget control and deadlines. As the content expert, you’ll be the architect of valuable project management knowledge.
Building Your Specialist Team:
* Developmental Editor: Sharpen your message with an editor specializing in project management content.
* Content Editor: Ensure clear and professional communication of your expertise.
* Project Manager (Optional): Streamline production with a detailed plan for editing, design, and formatting.
* Book Designer: Craft a visually compelling and impactful book.
* Audiobook Narrator (Optional): Enhance the audiobook with a narrator fluent in project management terminology.
Expanding Your Resource Pool:
* Freelance Marketers: Reach your target audience through strategic niche marketing.
* Formatting Specialists: Ensure your book looks polished across platforms (e.g., ebooks).
* Project Management Software: Leverage familiar tools to manage tasks, deadlines, and collaborations.
*Book Publishing Company: Using the Traditional approach, aside from self-publishing.
Remember:
The size of your team depends on your resources and goals. Leverage your project management expertise to create a high-quality resource for fellow professionals.
