Making the wrong decisions on the business side of publishing can destroy a writer’s career.

In this WMG Writer’s Guide Bundle on Business, New York Times bestselling authors and renowned business bloggers Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith share the best practices that have helped shape their successful careers.

In Heinlein’s Rules: Five Simple Business Rules for Writing, Smith takes you step-by-step through Heinlein’s Rules and shows how following those rules can change your writing—and career—for the better.

In Closing the Deal…on Your Terms, Rusch takes writers—whether self-published, traditionally published, or hybrid—on a journey that will help them understand what they’re selling and what they could accidentally give away.

In The Magic Bakery, Smith helps writers understand the very nature of their business, how to sell more, and make more money from every story. Using the metaphor of a magic bakery, copyright becomes easy to understand, and the writing business makes far more sense.

“[Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s blog,] The Business Rusch…is full of sound advice and analysis about what's going on.”

—Jeff Baker, The Oregonian

“Dean Wesley Smith’s blog gives both a slightly different view of the publishing world than I’d seen before and detailed hands-on ‘here’s how to get from A to B’ instruction.”

— Erin M. Hartshorn, Vision: A Resource for Writers
