Maven Publishing announced this week the release of its latest book, Startup, a book written with the new entrepreneur in mind. Co-authors Matthew Smith and Jessica Dawson, themselves both entrepreneurs, collaborated on this book, which outlines what they call the "Four Stages of a Startup Business." Startup is the third release in the last year from Maven Publishing and the second book project on which they have collaborated with Matthew Smith.

The Four Stages of a Startup Business, according to the book, are Ideation, Planning, Execution, and Launch. Each stage is expanded upon in detail, offering helpful advice for prospective business owners on topics like business plans, mission statements, obtaining licenses and permits, and marketing. At the end of each section, both authors give their personal perspectives on the topic based on their own experiences as business owners.

The book is not meant to be a "how-to" manual, but more of helpful guide from actual entrepreneurs who have been through the process of starting a successful business and can offer advice based on their experiences. It covers the entire process of getting a business off the ground-from the initial business idea through a successful business launch.

Co-author Matthew Smith, who is also the CEO of Modmacro, a boutique digital marketing firm, said "I was excited to have the opportunity to work with Maven Publishing again to produce this book. I have high hopes that this latest book will help many new entrepreneurs achieve the success they're after, and avoid some of the common pitfalls of starting a business. In addition, I've found that being a published author has been very beneficial for my business, and that books serve as a great marketing tool when talking to potential clients, so I'm happy to have another published work to add to my name and am grateful to Maven Publishing for taking on this project."

Startup is currently available for purchase on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, iBooks and Kobo in both print and digital versions.
