    Colin Dunbar

    Colin Dunbar has worked in the technical writing field for more than 39 years, and he's an indie author with 6 self-published books to his name, and more to come. After following the regular career path, Colin started his own corporation and ran it for five years - then he decided to sell it. In 1990/91 he wrote the draft of his first book, Profile of the Technical Writing Profession which he tried publishing through the traditional route. According to the literary agent, there was no demand for this type of book in South Africa. He scrapped the idea to publish it. Then in 2004, he self-published his book, Invest In Yourself, and in the same year he started a part-time online business, and self-published his book, Get What You Want (ebook sold from his website). As his experience on the web grew, in 2007 he accepted a virtual contractor position with a Canadian-based company. For the years 2007 to 2014, Colin offered an e-cover design service. And, also, from 2009 to 2014, he offered a book design service. In 2011 he launched a self-publishing service website, but in 2014, due to time constraints he closed it to focus all his attention on his own writing. He started the blogged book, Format Book In Word in 2013, and self-published the book in 2016 (2nd edition published in 2019). This is the first in a series of four books. "I'm based in South Africa, and married to a wonderful supportive woman (and my biggest critic)." Colin says. Leave a legacy, write your book.

      Bibliography

      Introduction

      Be persistent. Editors change; editorial tastes change; markets change. Too many beginning writers give up too easily. – John Jakes

      It is reported that more than 80% of Americans want to write their own book. But, with a 9-to-5 job, a family, kids’ extra-mural activities it’s not easy to find the time to write, not even to mention self-publishing it. As such, our motivation fades, and we sadly give up on our dream.

      You can become a self-published author.

      NEVER GIVE UP! offers you motivational nuggets to help things along, when nothing seems to be going according to plan.

      In these pages you will discover the benefits of setting practical goals for your self-publishing career and make progress by using a goal setting system that works for you and your circumstances.

      You will also learn how to identify and fight one of the biggest obstacles any aspiring author faces in order to successfully self-publish your book.

      I wrote this book in short chapters – so that you can process the things that matter most, as it’s meant to be read quickly, and help you regain your momentum fast.

      When your motivation seems to be slipping, or self-doubt raises its ugly head, grab this book (or open it on your e-reader), pick the relevant chapter, read it and apply the ideas or think about the concept discussed.

      NEVER GIVE UP!
