Getting your book ready for publishing
How do you know when your manuscript is ready for submission? Many authors submit too soon, risking rejection when by making just a few small tweaks, they could have dramatically increased their odds of success. Learn how to be ready to win.
Pitching so you get noticed in a crowded inbox
Make sure your book stands out by making use of these surprising things that publishers look out for that most authors don't know about. Learn the reality of submitting for publication, the rules they don't tell you about, and how to make a plan to win.
Selecting your publisher
Choosing the right publisher for your book (and separating out reputable ones from the rest) is one of the most important decisions you will ever have to make as an author. Learn about the traps to avoid, and getting the royalty-paying deal that works for you.
