Experienced editor and publisher Jane Friedman offers insights from more than 15 years of working on both sides of the desk, and offers step-by-step advice on: (1) evaluating the commercial potential for your work, (2) finding and approaching editors and agents professionally, (3) preparing query letters and book proposal materials, (4) marketing and promoting your work effectively, (5) protecting your rights and avoid infringing on others’ rights, and (6) understanding the self-publishing and ebook market—and if it’s the right path for you.

PUBLISHING 101 describes the dramatic changes underway in the publishing industry, as ebook sales increase and physical bookstores decrease in number. These changes affect how authors get book deals—meaning you need to be prepared to adapt to a risk-averse industry during a time of uncertainty.
