OLD IS GETTING YOUNGER EVERYDAY
A New Book Is Published to Meet the Needs of the
Booming Generation of Active, Vibrant Retirees
Surveys report that
writing a book is one of the cherished dreams of the new generation of active, vibrant
retirees. To help them fulfill that dream, Caros Books has just released a 321-page
guide to writing and publishing after retirement.
“This may be one of the most important
books
you own if you are interested in
getting
published.”
Released on October
1, a new book The Writer Within You has
been hailed by reviewers as filling a long-standing void. “The book offers outstanding
support for a
class of hopeful writers,
retired seniors who deserve far more attention than they have received,” writes
Dan Poynter, one of the gurus of the book publishing industry.
This first-of-its-kind
book is designed to meet the needs of the current generation of vibrant Mature Americans
who view retirement as an opportunity to realize ambitions that
the demands of family and career made unattainable before. For many of them,
the most prized goal is to become a published author.
The Gallup Organization reports that 81% of mature adults yearn to
write a book. When the popular senior web site Eons.com asked 14,000 subscribers
to list their “most cherished life dream,” writing a book placed second. Only losing
weight outpaced it.
To help retirees realize
that dream, The Writer Within You instructs
them in the basics of writing, steers them to the most effective method of publishing
and guides them as they promote their finished work.
Subtitled
A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing and Publishing in Your Retirement Years, the
book stresses the advantages maturity offers to wannabe senior authors. Their many
years of professional and life experience help them meet the challenges of the highly
competitive world of publishing.
In addition to the
chapters on writing, publishing and promoting, this comprehensive book tours readers
through the essentials of researching and editing. Several chapters are devoted
to writing and promoting on the Web, as well as to article writing and commercial
freelancing.
Author Charles Jacobs calls upon his extensive experience
as a reporter, editor, freelancer, writing instructor and novelist to provide more
than adequate direction to wannabe writers to move their work into print. The book
gives them all the guidance they need to able to write and successfully publish
either a book or articles.
Supported by glowing
reviews, The Writer Within You has already
achieved a five star rating on both Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. The well
known reviewer Laurie Shirley of “Boomer Views,” writes on the Amazon web site,
“This may be one of the most important books you own if you are interested in getting
published.” The prestigious Writer’s Digest Book Club has chosen the book as one
of its selections.
The book has been particularly
welcomed by the increasing numbers of baby boomers who are now ending their career
years. In their perception of retirement, remaining active and productive far outstrips
the more traditional view of long days on the fairways or at the poker table.
The Writer Within You can be purchased
on the web site www.retirement-writing.com or by calling
800-BOOKLOG. Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com and Borders.com are all offering it
for sale on their web sites.
