What makes this book different from other publishing guides? Most books are too limited. They focus on just one platform, like Amazon, or one market, like the US. This book provides a truly global, strategic perspective. It gives you the "Global-Local Nexus" model, a unique framework for leveraging worldwide distribution platforms while applying targeted, localized marketing to build a real connection with readers in different countries. It isn't just a simple "how-to" manual. It is a comprehensive analysis that combines history , practical market data , emerging technology trends , and powerful business models. Other books may show you how to upload your file. This book teaches you how to think like a global CEO of your own writing business. It's the ultimate resource for building a resilient, diversified, and sustainable international writing career.
