The Gallup Poll reports that 81% of mature American adults dream of writing a book. This year the publishing world has finally responded by creating the tool they need to fulfill that life-long dream, creating a perfect gift for these folks. Amazon book reviewer Laurie Shirley calls it "One of the most important books you can own."
Released on October 1, The Writer Within You blazed through its first two months winning accolades. It is being hailed as the first writing book to specifically address the desires of baby boomers and seniors in an era when leaving work no longer means lounging at the beach or spending days of leisure on the fairway.
Recognizing its importance in the changing outlook of the fastest- growing segment of the nation's population, the book has consistently maintained five-star ranking on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com.
The recent announcement that The Writer Within You had been chosen an "Award Winning Finalist" in the Best Books of 2007 Awards program sponsored by USA Books News was followed by its select ion as one of the featured offerings of the Writer's Digest Book Club.
Author Charles Jacobs recognized the need for the book while speaking to various organizations on the life of a writer. Audience members repeatedly approached him stating, "I've got a great book I can't wait to write." That was followed a moment later by the plaintive admission, "But I don't know how to do it." The Writer Within You is Jacobs' response.
Subtitled A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing and Publishing in Your Retirement Years, the book leads readers through the basics of writing in several genres, helps them select the appropriate method of publishing and introduces them to the fundamentals of promoting their book.
Published by Caros Books and distributed by the Atlas Books division of Bookmasters, The Writer Within You is available at bookstores on and offline. It can be purchased as a substantial discount on Jacobs' web site www.retirement-writing.com/thewriterwithinyou or by telephoning 800-BOOK LOG.
