Write a book and watch the money roll in, right? Well, not quite. There’s a lot more to the journey from writing to becoming a successful author than most people realize. Today, we're sitting down with a fantastic panel of business authors to explore the real story—both the highs and the hurdles—of navigating the business publishing world.

I connected with these authors while organizing a Kindle Cross-Promotion during Amazon Prime Days. The results were incredible because we had 77 business books on sale for just 99 cents or $1.99. Thanks to our collective efforts, many titles shot to the Top 10 in their categories, and 30% even secured the coveted #1 Best Seller spot. I sold over 220 books, proving that collaboration makes a difference.

In this panel, we’ll dive into what it means to publish a business book and what authors can gain from the process.

Get ready to hear some valuable insights from our remarkable panelists!
