Description
This book will help all authors, regardless of their path to publication.
It contains more than 1,001 powerful pieces of advice about most phases of book publishing, plus more information that's not in "piece of advice" form. It's useful, informative and entertaining; and achieved bestseller status within days of publication.
The book is not intended to be a complete publishing reference, but rather to supplement what authors may already know—particularly if they always worked with traditional publishers, or always self-published.
You may think you’ll always be an “indie’—or never be an “indieâ€â€”but plans change. It’s good to understand your options and to know how other authors work.
Even authors with contracts from "traditional" publishers now participate in (and may pay for) marketing their books, and this book will help authors avoid wasting time and money.
The book's author, Michael N. Marcus, has more than 40 years' experience in publishing and is a bestselling author of more than 30 books. He shares what he learned—often "the hard way," by making mistakes.
Marcus said, "I was particularly pleased when one of my book previewers—a man who has been in the publishing business for nearly 50 years—said, 'I didn’t know that.'â€
