Are you a rural or regional business owner with a great story to share?

We're looking for some very special rural, regional and remote business owners, across Australia, to contribute to TWO very special books.

Last year, I bought 16 rural business women together, for a first-of-its-kind book - that's it, over there on the right >>>

This year, I'm doing it again - but there are TWO books you can get involved in (and not just for rural women!).

Interested in contributing your story to a professionally published book?

Read on...

What's this book thing all about?

So, last year, we ran a highly successful project to put together Australia's very first book featuring rural women in business - Rural Business Women: Inspiration and advice to grow your business from regional Australia.

You can check out the book (on sale) at www.ruralbusinesswomen.com.au.

And because I had so much fun coordinating this project, I thought - why not do it again!

But because I never quite do things by halves, I've had the crazy idea of coordinating TWO different collaborative books at once. Because, well, I had two ideas for titles and I'm a little bit nuts.

These are:

Rural Business Women Volume 2 (Tentative theme: Secret Success Strategies to Scale)

This one is clearly open to female business owners in rural, regional and remote areas.

The Rural Rebel Business Revolution

And for this one it's open to any business owner who has a story around how they've done something differently - and broken the 'rules' - to become successful.

How does it work?

You contribute one chapter on a topic close to your heart, that fits the briefs above. We'll coach you through the process, to make it all a breeze.

Then, we handle the publishing for you. Everything from cover design, editing, internal layout to print and eBook production and distribution.

Plus, you get to join a dynamic community alongside the other authors. Networking opportunities and friendships are guaranteed, so long as you commit to interacting.

Reasons to Become a Published Author in our Collaborative Books:

It's easier than writing your own

Rather than having to write 60,000 words of an entire book yourself AND going through the time consuming process of figuring out how to publish - you simply write your chapter (3000-4000 words), and I'll do the rest. Then, you just market the book once it's published.

Books give you credibility and position you as a leader in your field

Any business owner who can say they're a published author gain instant credibility in the eyes of clients, partners and media outlets.

Your marketing exposure increases x20+

When you join forces on a collaborative book with other business owners and they promote the book too - you're getting in front of their audiences.

We're looking for 25 authors to contribute, per book. Yes, there will be fees to participate, to cover professional publishing and production costs, but I've re-arranged things a little this time around to make it as affordable as possible. There's absolutely no obligation to go ahead. Full details will be released on or before the 7th of March.
