Getting Published: The Inside Story

Getting Published: The Inside Story demystifies the process of publishing and guides authors around the numerous pitfalls. Covering everything from how to write a query letter to using an agent and arranging a contract, choosing a publisher and discussing translation rights, this extensive handbook leaves no questions unanswered. While there are many books on how to get published, Getting Published goes behind the scenes and explains the processes in each area of publishing. There is no sidestepping the difficult issues about costs to authors, low returns to authors, rejection, the time involved when a book is sent to a publisher – the mysteries of the industry are all explained.
