How will you be ringing in 2013? You could be celebrating your new status as a published author. Today, renowned author Nina Amir offers the readers of Julie Isaacs' blog WritingSpirit an easy-to-follow plan to get from writing a blogged book to having a published book in six months or less..

In her post, Amir explains that a well-planned and well-written blog can easily transition into becoming a published book. This guest post is part of Amir's virtual book tour, or blog tour, to raise awareness for her Amazon bestseller How to Blog a Book: Write, Publish and Promote Your Work One Post at a Time (Writer's Digest Books), which was released this month. Amir will make about 22 stops on her tour before she completes it..

If you write about something you are passionate about, it should be easy to write regular 250-word posts on your topic. As you write more posts and promote your blog on social media, you will develop a fan following. The bigger your fan following, the better the odds you will be noticed by a publisher. Even if you don't get discovered by a publisher, Nina Amir outlines several other ways to get your book into print..

How to Blog a Book teaches aspiring authors how to create a blogged book with a well-honed and uniquely angled subject and targeted posts. By reading the book they'll also learn how to develop a readership large enough to get noticed by an agent or a publisher. More information on the book is available at http://amzn.to/howtoblogabook.

She is a seasoned journalist, nonfiction editor and consultant, blog-to-book coach, book and author coach with more than 33 years of experience in the publishing field as well as the founder of Write Nonfiction in November, a blog and writing challenge.
