Get Published

This is the second book in The Confident Author Series: Master the Art of Writing, Publishing, and Strategically Promoting Your Book for Success and it contains all you need to know about the publishing journey that your book will embark on once it's reached this stage.

Get Published describes the routes authors can take, from traditional publishing to self- and hybrid publishing, pointing out the different considerations for each, so that you can be confident in your decision making as you proceed with your manuscript towards launch.

Written by someone who has a wealth of experience, both in writing and publishing his own books, to managing his own publishing company, this is a clear but expert description of the process. It ensures that authors won't be overwhelmed by the different elements of the publishing world, but instead will have the assurance of knowing about all the stages they will encounter.

You will learn about all the different stages: from editing, layout, proofreading, cover design, the importance of producing a good 'blurb' and author bio, to your print options. You will also become aware of the processes for eBook and audio production. The mysteries of ISBN numbers and UPC bar codes are also explained, as well as the importance of setting the right price so you are positioned to sell well. Getting the print stage of book production done correctly is as important as your writing and marketing, and you will appreciate that attempting DIY shortcuts in some areas may lead to costly mistakes.

Reading Get Published will ensure that your book gets the best start in its journey into the world. It will prepare you for the myriad of options you will face in the production stage, as you work with your production team in deciding the best publication path for you, and it is a vital part of the process for all aspiring authors.
