Book Description

2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY) Gold Medalist
2019 American Book Fest Best Book Awards 1st Place Winner

Do you have something important to say? By combining his experience as an educator and entrepreneur, author Gregory V. Diehl teaches passionate thinkers how to turn unique messages into profitable books-without sacrificing royalties or creative control to a publisher.

With in-depth advice about all stages of book creation, publication, and marketing, The Influential Author takes a uniquely grounded and intellectual approach to nonfiction self-publishing. Unlike self-publishing guides that promise to teach you how to write a bestselling book quickly and easily, Diehl's book actually walks you through the complex details of planning, writing, editing, and promoting your work at the standards of traditional publishing.

Whether you are an experienced writer or have just started thinking about how to write a nonfiction book, The Influential Author will teach you about:

- Combining your passions and experience with reader demand to decide what book to write.
- Organizing your knowledge into sections and chapters for maximum comprehension and flow.
- Refining your book with feedback from editors, proofreaders, beta readers, and market testing.
- Choosing a title, subtitle, description, and cover design that capture your message and create sales.
- Pricing and promoting each format of your book (digital, print, and audio) for maximum readership and revenue.
- Enjoying lifelong passive income, influence, and meaning from your book's success.

Publishing a book could be one of the most important things you ever do. Read The Influential Author to begin your path to writing nonfiction books that matter.

Author Bio

Gregory V. Diehl has been described as being among the toughest, most direct personal development coach in the world. He has earned this reputation through the frank and unique way he interacts with clients: prodding into hidden motivators, pointing out internal contradictions, and strategically antagonizing their unconscious sacred ideas until only the foundation of truth remains.

A sort of cryptic sensei, Diehl fosters conversations in the most element (and too often overlooked) form of coaching: to listen with fierce intensity to the unfiltered expressions of his clients, codify them, challenge them, and restate them without the narrative personal bias. The result is to instantly separate the client from the attachment to the story they tell themselves about the most important issues of their lives so they can focus on what actually matters and make progress they once thought to be impossible.

Diehl’s primary coaching technique is a strategy he calls strategic aggravation or antagonization. He works to upset the static ebb and flow of coach-client communication with persistent questions and skepticism. He is dismissive, argumentative, and at times downright rude – whatever it takes to create radical breakthroughs in the people he works with.

What Clients Say about Gregory:

“He’s not one of the hyper-empathic, hyper-feeling, trauma-healing, focused-listening-but-not-real-opinions kind of coaches. He startles me. He can be adversarial, provocative during our coaching, but that’s not his only coaching technique. He only pushes your buttons when you’re not logical, or he pushes them when you settle for mediocrity. He’ll try to jar you when you’re stuck in a story or are sitting unaware of the rest of the world.”

“He doesn’t care what you think coming in. I don’t even think he cares what you end up thinking. He wants to see your thinking and rethinking as it happens. He’s impatient and demanding. But it works somehow. He makes you stronger.”

“I like the questioning Gregory does. Just having a mentor who’s dissected even the most rudimentary of things about being a human has really helped me feel less lonely and allowed me to relax more into the path that I carve through life.”
