Description
If you’re writing a book and hope to have it published, you’ll be that much more successful if you understand how the publishing industry works and what editors and agents want. Join Dianne Jacob at this primer that looks at how to get happily published. In today’s rapidly changing world, what exactly does the book industry want?One of the main things, besides a beautifully written book on a killer subject, is your platform—that is, your ability to attract an audience that will buy the book. “I’ll define that term at length,” says Dianne, “and we’ll do some exercises on how to create or improve upon on yours.
I’ll also answer burning questions such as: How do you submit your manuscript, and to whom? Is it best to find an agent, or can you submit directly to editors? Do you need a book proposal for fiction, or just a cover letter? Do you send your manuscript by snail mail or email? Can a literary attorney do just as good a job as an agent in reviewing a contract? And more!
