From Articles to Book
For more than
30 years, John E. Phillips has been an outdoor writer.
He's written and sold 30 books and has eight more under
contract.
"I know all the things that don't work in the
book-writing business and a few of the things that do
work," Phillips explains. "Every book deal is different,
and with most books, when you count the time you spend
writing, editing and marketing those books, you will
decide you could have made more money pumping gas at the
local station.
"But, there are some authors making very-good money
writing books, and I'll tell you what I've learned from
the best."

Tom began working with the Internet in
its infancy while employed by a spin-off from MIT's

intimately involved with the intertwined evolution of
the Web and business in the last two decades. In
addition to his 13 years as a highly respected engineer
and engineering manager, Tom also has 12 years as a top

In the 1990s, Tom combined his
