He didn&#39;t think like an entrepreneur and consider the business side of being an author because his background was in journalism, not business. Now the author of several books and essay collections, as well as owner of Story Farm, Morris understands the benefits of being business-savvy as an author. Knowing how to reach readers, network effectively, and negotiate contracts are all a part of the &quot;job&quot;. At the end of the day, he says, it&#39;s your business and you must own it. In order to be successful authors must be entrepreneurial at the same time they are being creative.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-94/The-Importance-of-Understanding-the-Business-Side-of-Being-an-Author.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../The-Importance-of-Understanding-the-Business-Side-of-Being-an-Author.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
