"Going Pro: One Author's Advice on Getting Published with Small and
Electronic Presses" is a concise guide that offers advice on all
aspects of writing for publication. From finding the time to write
to finding beta readers, from navigating all the elements of a
successful submissions packet to understanding a publishing
contract to marketing your newly published book -- here I offer the
best advice I can on getting your first story from a file on your
computer to an e-book released by a small or electronic press.
Topics covered include: polishing your manuscript, finding the
right publisher, working with an editor, writing blurbs, and
promoting your book. I give detailed explanations of submission
guidelines, contracts, rights and copyrights, cover art, and
marketing plans. I also offer advice on what to do when things
don't go quite as you plan, whether it's a bad review or a pirate
site, or your publisher folds.
It can be intimidating when you're just starting out and trying to
get published. I know, I've been there, too. So if you're
interested in getting your stories published with a small press or
e-book publisher, let me help you through the process
