About the authors
Mark Leslie would be the first person to admit he's still afraid of the monster under his bed. That might be why most of his books explore the darker side. In addition to penning a series of true ghostly tales he also writes horror and the humorous urban fantasy action/adventure 'Canadian Werewolf" series.
His other passions include fan appreciation/trivia books about the modern classic 1980s films and sharing stupid dad jokes.
Proudly adopting the term "Book Nerd," Mark is most comfortable with a pen in hand, fingers on keyboard or with his nose stuck in a book. He can often be seen traveling to book events with a life-sized skeleton named Barnaby Bones.
Born in Sudbury Ontario, Mark has courted with a serious addiction to reading and writing his entire life. He has called both Ottawa, ON and Hamilton, ON home for about a decade each and currently lives in Waterloo, Ontario.
A self-confessed book nerd, Mark, who is a former President of the Canadian Booksellers Association and the former Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations for Rakuten Kobo (and founder of Kobo Writing Life), thrives on innovation and excellence within all aspects of the publishing and bookselling industry.
With more than a quarter century of experience, Mark has been involved in bookselling as it evolved from strictly bricks and mortar operations and into online and digital venues, and has continually been at the forefront of applying digital solutions to publishing and book selling.
An author who has embraced both traditional and self-publishing opportunities for himself as well as the thousands of authors he has coached, advised and consulted with over the past two decades, Mark not only believes that each author’s journey is individualized and personal, but that each specific project a writer embarks upon can have its own unique goals, elements and desired outcomes.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2019The 7 P's is a concise primer on the basics of succeeding as an author. Written in conversational style, the book lays out implementable steps to make your way through the mire of the publishing industry. Yes, much of the information is common sense, but often one needs to hear the words from someone else to validate them, and that's exactly what this author does. There is also a lot of food for thought and small but powerful ways to impact and forward your writing career. The resource list in the back is excellent. I have already read the book twice and gleaned useful data each time.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018Brilliantly put together and quick to read. Gave me lots of ideas to implement and was a great reminder of alot of founding principles of publishing. This is a book for every level of writer.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018This book is an easy read that is both practical and insightful. It is a must for any starting author.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2019This is a nice quick overview of all the important things to remember as you gear up to write your next book, or even if you're past the gearing up point and want to improve your skills as a published author. It's a fairly high-level overview, but with some great insights and anecdotes that inspire you to think way beyond simply what you're writing on the page. A great little read to get your creative and business minds inspired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Très efficace
C'est un petit livre. Mais faut-il des centaines de pages de rabachage pour comprendre les points cruciaux du métier d'écrivain?
Mark est passé par toutes les étapes par lesquelles un nouvel écrivain passe. Et propose des conseils pleins de bon sens. Ces propositions marchent. Pas de recette miracle. Du travail, beaucoup de travail et de la patience. Mais ca marche. et ce livre court vous donnera les clés nécessaires à votre carrière !

5.0 out of 5 stars Mark Leslie - Friend of Independent Authors and Publishers
Great overview of how to be successful in publishing. Very well written and useful if you plan on having a career or even a part-time career in writing books. Mark's podcast "Stark Reflections on Writing and Publishing" is another great resource.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short, but worthwhile
Very short. An excerpt from another endeavour, it says. However, the book this excerpt was going into doesn't exist yet ... where is it?
