Author

Robert AshtonI am a best-selling non-fiction author. I write very practical books that help people gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed as entrepreneurs. I also write books that help people deal with the challenges life can throw in their direction.

My books have been publishe
d by Prentice Hall, Capstone, Hodder and Hamlyn. My work has been translated into 17 languages and sells in more than 80 countries around the world. I believe a good book needs three things to succeed:
  • An author with authority in and passion for the subject;
  • A publisher with challenging editorial staff and a great distribution network;
  • The Life PlanA growing audience eager to learn more.

Ask Robert

I am currently writing ‘Teach Yourself: Writing for the Web’ with my assistant, Jess, which is due to publish in 2013.

I am also researching my 17th book, ‘Garden Shed Guerilla’, which will profile 50 grassroots community activists and inspire others to follow their example. This will be published by DSC in September 2013. You can find out more about how to nominate a case study by visiting How to be a Social Entrepreneur, Make Money & Change the Worldthe website.

In autumn 2012 I will be running my first writers’ retreat. This will be structured to help budding non-fiction writers move from wannabe to will be. Participants will learn how to turn their skills, experience and interests into books, guides and perhaps most importantly, pitches to publishers! Be the first to hear when my first writers’ retreat is announced - register your interest by email.
