Who knew multi-tasking could be so productive? Yesterday, renowned author Nina Amir offered the readers of Leo Babauta's blog WriteToDone a step-by-step guide to writing a book and building blog readership at the same time..

In her post, Amir explained that blogging a book is an effective way for an author to generate blog content that can be repurposed into a published book. This guest post was 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..

Many popular blogs have gained major followings and have earned publishing deals for their authors. However, those bloggers may not have planned to write a printed book when they started writing their blogs. Once they got book deals, these bloggers had to repurpose old blog posts to make them fit within a printed book's format. Nina Amir's guest post and her new book can teach bloggers how to begin with the end in mind and develop a blog that can easily translate into a printed book..

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.

Nina Amir inspires writers to create the results they desire--publishable and published products and careers as writers and authors. 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.
