Power isn’t just for world leaders and corporate CEOs. As an indie author, you are constantly navigating power dynamics, whether it’s building your audience, marketing your books, or protecting your creative voice. Understanding how power works, and learning how to wield it, can mean the difference between struggling in obscurity and making your mark in the literary world.
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene is an essential guide for indie authors who want to take control of their careers. Greene’s insightful breakdown of historical strategies for gaining influence applies directly to the challenges faced by today’s self-published authors.
