2) Your book needs a Big Idea to attract readers

Your book needs a unique, interesting, and accessible Big Idea to communicate what makes it different from other books and PERFECT for your target audience.

All 3 titles have a clear & compelling Big Idea

Solve one problem for a narrow audience and you're golden
