Last week I shared with you about my experience when I wrote my first book. Well, it doesn’t have to be so hard after all, especially when you know the right people such as Lwandile Mhlongo who is a self – publishing agent. Lwandile helps aspiring authors to turn their dreams into reality. Join us at the webinar on Saturday morning from 9am to 10h30. Lwandile will share with us the key steps to take your book from your brain to hard copy and to where books are sold 😊.
I am an authorised Financial Advisor and my focus is to ensure that each one of us makes the most of the money that we have. So I don’t want you to just write a book but I want you to profit from it. My second book, From Debt to Riches: Steps to Financial Success sold over 31 000 copies but I made a pitiful R10 a copy. I don’t want that to happen to you. How come I made just R300 000 from 31 000 copies? It is because of the publishing contract I entered into. Not only does it give the publisher ownership of my book, it also gives them a life time first right of refusal to my future works. I have gone through hell trying to get out of this contract and my advice to you is this; never, ever enter into a contract without getting a lawyer to review it and ensure it is in your best interests. It is for this reason that Lindiwe Matsebula, who is an attorney, and Secretary of A-Win, will be addressing us at the webinar and will give more insight into publishing contracts, Intellectual property, etc.
Ndidi Mpye is a Chartered Accountant and ex-officio member of A-Win will be the MC on the day.
My job is relatively easy for this webinar. I will be sharing my insights into why I think both my books sold thousands of copies and most importantly, I will wrap it up by being blunt and telling you which way to go if you want to profit from your book.

See you on Saturday morning and please note that we will share the link to the webinar on Friday and only with those people who RSVP.
