Hello! and welcome to the Authorpreneur Blueprint, your ultimate guide on how to become an authorpreneur.
I’m Jack Probyn, the bestselling author of the Jake Tanner thriller series, and I’m here to help you take your author career to the next step. I’ve written a couple of books and sold a few thousand copies… not much, I know, but that’s soon to change.
This is going to start out as a blog, and then hopefully it’ll develop into something more solid and concrete.
The idea for the Authorpreneur Blueprint began when I first started my road into indie publishing. I was lost and I didn’t have a lot of information, and there are still some things I don’t know today – we’re all on a long learning curve in this industry.
And I aim to bridge the gap from newby to veteran.
Ambitious? Yes. Plausible? Probably.
But let’s do it anyway.
Below is the complete encyclopedia of indie publishing.
It’s a big old table of contents – sort of like an A-Z!
