In the 21st Century, publishing your book is just a point-and-click away....
In this concise handbook, editor and author advocate Michaele Lockhart provides guidance for writers navigating the often tricky journey to publication. In the United States alone over one thousand companies compete for the author's money: your precious dollars should be spent where they will do the most good.
Every day thousands of writers agree to have their manuscripts published. The self-publishing industry comes in many guises, from cozy local start-up ventures to mega-giants of the industry. All promise the author both ease and success.
The road to successful publication is long, filled with potholes, and littered with technicalities. Less than ethical practices are to be found everywhere, while vague promises lure the uninformed. Among the newest of unregulated cottage industries are e-formatters. Many new authors find the end results disappointing, falling short of their expectations and what they have been promised. Authors should be well-informed about the industry they are a part of. Forewarned is forearmed.
Based on a series of articles featured on the author's blog site, Lockhart's words of wisdom prepare and protect the newer writer for a first publishing experience while improving future endeavors for any author who might already have spent several thousand dollars publishing a single book.
