The Write Way
Of course, I’d love it if you bought my book, The Write Way, which is available on Amazon for $15.95 but there are many wonderful books on writing that may be helpful to you. Browse through the bookstore to see which ones are right for you
Getting your book published is a bit like following the yellow brick road. There are only two steps on the path to publishing: You have to begin to write your book, then you have to write a book proposal. On your journey to the publishing house, you might find some twists and turns along the way and a few unexpected surprises–some nice; some not so nice. The Write Way serves as a guide to help you find your way on the publishing path to a literary home for your book. Visit my Writer’s Workshop to read more about the book.
Proposal to Published
Since many writers are well on their path to publication and are looking for information about how to write and submit a book proposal, we’ve published From Book Proposal to a Published Book, which is available on Amazon for $12.95. It’s a short version of The Write Way.
Offers everything you need to know about writing a perfect book proposal that will get you an offer and a publishing contract for your nonfiction book–from finding the right publisher or agent for your book, to creating an author platform, developing a marketing and promotion plan, knowing what editors and agents are really looking for, writing your book proposal and making it the best it can be, submitting it in a professional manner, understanding and negotiating a book contract, and holding your finished book in your hand and seeing it on the bookstore shelf… this book has it all. It clearly explains what to do and how to do it, and what NOT to do to get your book published.
Self-Publishing
If you decide that the path to self-publishing is the route you’ll take to get your book in print, then you might be interested in Steps to Successful Self-Publishing which is available on Amazon for $12.95. This book is a guide into the sometimes mystifying maze of self-publishing, offering you the basics, such as how to create a small press publishing company, how to apply for an ISBN to get you started, and how to decide which printer is best for your book. Included are hundreds of contacts to help you market your book and proven Internet strategies for selling your book online, as well as how to get your book into bookstores.
