Introduction

Welcome

My name is GW Cook - I'm a writer and author and I love writing and creating content that others find interesting and informative. I am also a self-publishing advocate and somewhat of an experienced 'go to' guy when it comes to resources, information and advice about how to get into self-publishing and what's involved with the business of marketing and author platform building.

I am also the founder of selfpublishingsuccessfully.com, a dynamic web-hub focussed on exploring the pitfalls and benefits of self-publishing. Come and check it out if you are interested in the exciting opportunities within the ever-changing world of Indie Publishing.

With all my ventures I like to think outside the square and combine conventional wisdom with a fresh approach, especially as it relates to book marketing and content creation. An example of this can be found in my article titled 'Growth-hacking for Self-Published Authors.'
 

The main subjects/topics of interest I love to write about include: authorship, genre fiction, health and well-being (especially the ketogenic and Blood Sugar diets, strength training and mindfulness), depression and anxiety related matters, and social media and content marketing. I also write about Jim Morrison and his poetry; a new edition of my book, Gaze Into The Abyss: the Poetry of Jim Morrison is due for release mid-2018 under my pseudonym 'William Cook.'
