The Art of War by Sun Tzu - Book Review
The Art of War was written over two thousand years ago by the legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu. Surprisingly, it is just as relevant today as on the day it was written. This is the most influential book in history on military strategy and is studied by most military academies. You may wonder to yourself, that's great but it doesn't really apply to me because I'm not in the military and I don't plan on waging any wars. Fair point, but I will explain to you how this book is an absolute must read for everyone. -

Audiobooks Fastest Growing Publishing Format
Who would've thought that listening to someone read you a book could be enjoyable, years ago that would've seemed absurd. However our world is continuously striving for better and quicker consumption of content. An audiobook gives people the opportunity to plow through books while they're at the gym, doing mundane tasks at home such as cooking/cleaning or commuting to work. We know that there're benefits in reading books but are there any benefits in listening to audiobooks. Well, besides the enjoyment factor, it is claimed that audiobooks drastically improve your vocabulary, reading speed and fluency. -
Will The Real Satoshi Please Stand Up
One of the most groundbreaking innovations of the modern era is blockchain technology. It's uses are so varied that it can advance almost any industry and as our world continues to be more depend on technology, I believe that we will be fully blockchain dependent - right down to personal identity. Since blockchain technology is just over 10 years old, it's taking businesses and governments time to adapt and learn it's advantages. But have no doubt, blockchain is the future basis of almost everything. -
The Voss Coin - The Book Cover
One of the most fun and exciting stages in creating a novel is when you need to decide on the cover design. The reason I say that, it's because you're towards the end of your project and your baby is coming to life. That crazy idea you had in your head is now ready for the physical world. Something that people can see, relate to and thoroughly enjoy. I actually developed the cover before I had finished writing The Voss Coin. Once I was decided on the title, I set about creating the cover. It gave me a sense of realism and motivation to dedicate more time to writing and bring my novel into the world. -

They are ruthless, meticulous and have planned this for years. Every action has an immediate reaction, a deadly consequence. Every step out of line, is paid with the blood of the innocent. -

Everyone wants to hear a good story, even the one's that don't read. You manage to write a good story, your audience will go beyond just readers. Only around 30% percent of the world's adult population reads for pleasure but they all like a good story. We find the entertainment world inundated with possible book to movie adaptations and its become a dream of many authors to join the elite #BookToMovie club.

Book Reviews - It Will Either Make You Or Break You
If there is one thing in the publishing industry that it's importance can never be reiterated enough, it's book reviews. Think of that this way, have you ever bought a novel that didn't have a decent number of reviews and predominately 5 star rating? I can tell you on a personal level that I haven't and I believe that the majority of you haven't either. Our brains are unfortunately trained to sift for the good stuff based on the opinion of the majority. There is so much content out there, that we could never read it all. So our brain tells us, why even waste your precious time on an underrated/non-rated book. -
HYPE - The Snowball Effect
After discussing the Self Vs Traditional Publishing option and your digital marketing mediums, the next big goal is Hype. Actually, it's more of a dream goal than a realistic one, but hey reach for the stars right? You've gone through the painstaking process of writing, editing and promoting your novel. All that's left is to think/dream big and plan for the Hype. A dream without a plan remains a dream. So what is Hype exactly?
