WELCOME
Dear author,
It gives me tremendous pleasure to bring you this book, which is a collaboration of many years’ hard work, determination and a willingness to learn.
As you read the book you will notice that in order to write and self-publish your book you need no prior experience of the publishing world. What you do need is a willingness to learn and a mentor (someone who will help you). In order to make the book interesting and inspiring I have written it from the heart. I will share with you my successes along with the many lessons I have learnt along the way.
I must stress that the methods I am going to teach you within the book are not the only way to get your book finished and published – they are simply the methods that I have tried and tested and the ones that have worked for me. You will also notice in the book that I urge you not to go out and get a book publishing deal with a major or independent publisher. The reason for this is simply because I believe the effort it takes to get a book publishing deal can be better channelled into doing it yourself. In essence, if you follow the steps and guidance I have provided within this book you will be able do it yourself. In many cases you will probably do a better job than some of the major publishers that are out there.
Finally, after reading my book if you would like me to coach you on a one-to-one basis to get your book published, please contact me via the following website:

Good luck and best wishes,
Richard McMunn

NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
Most of you who read this book will probably have no idea who I am or the journey I have taken so far. Therefore, in this chapter I would like to take a few minutes of your time to explain what I have done and where I have come from. This opening chapter is designed to inspire you to write your first book and to instil the belief that absolutely ANYTHING is possible.
To cut a long story short, I grew up in Lancashire and attended Balshaw’s High School in Leyland, where I graduated with the princely sum of just 3 GCSE’s. For all my effort, or probably lack of it, I achieved a B grade in Art, a C Grade in English Language and a C Grade in English Literature – not much use to anyone if we are being honest! Because of my lack of qualifications I decided to join the Royal Navy as an aircraft engineer. I served on-board HMS Invincible and got to travel the world whilst getting paid a decent amount in the process. However, it wasn’t all plain sailing though (excuse the pun), as I did actually fail the initial Royal Navy medical for being overweight, and as a result my application was rejected until I had ‘slimmed down’ a little!
I can actually vividly remember attending the Royal Navy medical in Preston, Lancashire. I sat in the doctor’s surgery waiting room and was confident that I would pass. I entered the room and was asked to undress. After a few minor checks and the inevitable ‘cough and drop’ I was told to stand on the weighing scales. This was the first time I’d ever stood on weighing scales in my life. As soon as I took that life-changing step onto the weighing scales I could hear the cogs struggling under the weight of my torso; I sensed disaster approaching. I looked down cautiously at the scales, only to see the needle fixed firmly on the fifteen stone mark. There I was, a sixteen year old teenager weighing almost as much as my age. All of the meat and potato pies I had eaten in my youth suddenly flashed before my eyes. I was officially too fat to join the Royal Navy!
I stood back off the scales and started to get dressed. I had the same feeling you get when you are halfway through your driving test and you carry out a manoeuvre that you know only too well has caused you to fail. In the corner of my eye I could see the doctor writing down a brief assessment on his marking sheet with his spectacles balancing precariously on the edge of his nose – he didn’t look impressed.
Within five minutes I was walking out of the surgery feeling extremely dejected. He had informed me that I needed to lose a stone in weight before they would permit me to start the training course. On the way out of the surgery he had also handed me a small sheet of paper which detailed what I should and should not eat if I was to be successful in transforming myself from a fat spotty teenager to the kind of young man the Royal Navy would permit through its doors.
Whilst I sat at the bus stop waiting for the bus to take me home I started to study the diet sheet the doctor had handed me. Even my pet rabbit could not survive on this crap, I thought to myself! The sheet of paper consisted of the following recommended meal:
Breakfast - scrambled eggs on two slices of toast with one cup of tea.
Mid-morning snack – one apple
Lunch – one jacket potato with small portion of beans
Afternoon snack – one banana
Evening meal – one small portion of chicken breast, half a cup of boiled rice and vegetables
Evening snack – one wholemeal biscuit and a small glass of milk
(Note – drink one pint of water twenty minutes before each meal)
Now for most people, this would seem to be a decent daily intake of food; however, it was probably half of what I would normally eat, which explains why I was overweight.
The reason I am talking about this now is that I have learnt throughout my life that if I apply discipline and structure to my work I WILL be successful. Discipline is the root cause of my success. If you are disciplined and determined when writing and publishing your book you will be successful. Here’s what happened next.
As the bus approached to take me home from the medical I made a decision. This decision proved to be the catalyst that changed not only my approach to fitness but also my entire attitude to life. I decided there and then that I would walk home instead of getting the bus. As I walked home I promised myself that I would walk to college every day and then back home again. As I began walking briskly my heart beat increased and I began to feel more positive and enthusiastic about the future. It only took me 4 weeks to lose the weight required, and it was from that point on that I realised that if I applied myself and worked hard, success would follow.
The Royal Navy was a fantastic experience for me as it gave me responsibility, a trade, a sense of purpose and, most importantly, discipline. I will talk about discipline as I progress through this guide, as it is something you are going to have to take notice of when you start to write and publish your first book. Basically, from the age of 16 I was ‘required’ to conduct myself in a disciplined manner, and this is something that I carried over into my next career as a firefighter and then as an author – discipline is one of the main reasons for my success, and it will also be one of yours, too.
After serving just 4 years in the Royal Navy I decided to follow in the footsteps of my father Tony and join the Fire Service. At the age of 21 I applied to join Kent Fire Brigade, and on January the 25th 1993 I started a job that would turn out to be a successful 17-year career in the Fire Service. Whilst in the Fire Service I worked hard, sat my promotional exams, and soon found opportunities came my way. One of the very first mentors I had in life was a man called Mick Brooker – he was my officer-in-charge whilst serving as a fire
