GamePlan for Getting Published

In GamePlan for Getting Published, literary agent Maryann Karinch tells non-fiction authors how to present a book project to an agent and work with a commercial publisher. Karinch's title is one of the first books offered by GamePlan Press (www.gameplanpress.com), a new publisher specializing in succinct business and career books.

Karinch, who founded The Rudy Agency in 2004, describes a query letter and proposal in detail and provides samples of each. She also introduces the reader to the process of working with a publisher.

The book is concise, humorous, and includes references to other material that would be useful to a first-time author.

"I wanted GamePlan Press to offer this book at a price that any author could afford," notes Karinch. "Being an author myself, I realize that writng a book is rarely a get-rich-quick scheme!"

GamePlan for Getting Published has generous doses of insider information, some of which come from Karinch's own experience as a commercially published author. The book also gives step-by-step guidance on development of a strong promotion plan, which is now a required element of most proposals for works of non-fiction.
