#UseOneBookToMarketAnotherBook

I just read another book marketing blog which inspired me to pass along some good advice for fiction writers. 

Use a nonfiction book to gain recognition for yourself and then indulge your desire to write fiction. Really?

Why not? If you already have expertise in a genre, for instance you are a police officer, you might publish a nonfiction book that advises people on crime prevention. It is much easier to get media attention if you have information that helps people than it is to just tell a crime story.

However, once producers and editors know you as an expert in the field of criminal matters, they will have you back to promote your fiction book. 

Think about your own area of expertise. Become a well known author. Use that leverage to become a successful fiction writer. Brilliant.
