Hey Guys,

So, this is my first "Post" to the JP Fitness Forum. In reading through, I am excited about all the information we are able to provide to each other through this community resource.

I saw a comment about getting lucky or being associated with big shows or Dr. Phil in how you get a book published..

I am Celebrity Trainer, Shawnee Harkins and I am on Dr. Phil's new weight loss-series, "The Ultimate Weight Loss Race" airing now on CBS. I also have another show, called "The Hydra Executives", airing currently on an international level...of course, I've got a lot of other projects going on....but I say this all because...I am currently writing my first fitness book, and of course, I am looking to make it different from all the normal fitness books we already know exists..after research and guidance from top selling authors....I decided as a first time author to SELF-PUBLISH through a small publishing house.

Why? You keep 100 % of Royalties and Revenue, You have full creative control

It is a small investment to self-publish...but it's worth it...REMEMBER anything you believe in, is worth investing in..

So, don't always look to the big boys like Dr. Phil to get your book published or think you have to "be lucky"....GO OUT AND CREATE IT FOR YOURSELF!

Wishing everyone perfect health!

Cheers,

Shawnee Harkins
