| Getting Your Book Published for Dummies is required reading for all aspiring writers
looking for a byline and a decent advance! Cutting to the chase, Sarah Parsons Zackheim shares her personal publishing secrets, along with other hot tips from publishers and agents in the business. Whether you're contemplating writing non-fiction or you're almost finished with your first fiction novel, you can't go wrong with this extraordinary "For Dummies" book. Ms. Parsons Zackheim's strategies work! Although some agents and publishers may disagree on her approach (at times), I'm going on a proverbial limb by recommending this book over another book which I have personally purchased. You can use this book and make your money's worth in a few hours. Well organized sections include how to get started (book ideas); a crash course on the book publishing industry; writing the killer query and "knockout" book proposal; going "live" to find the right editor or agent for your book; negotiating and signing contracts; publicizing your own book; mistakes to avoid in the submission process and common excuses publishers give when turning down submissions (and what those words really mean!). My evaluation copy is heavily outlined and there's notes all over the margins. This means I'm ready to roll! If you're thinking of doing the same, I encourage you to buy this book and join me in a successful publishing journey! Here's to book authors everywhere. A special thanks to Sarah Parsons Zackheim for telling it like it is and sharing secrets. |
