This
book contains a wealth of information. Getting a book before the
public has never been easier. That means making mistakes in the
process has never been easier too. I had no idea how many ways one
can blunder in getting a book published. Briles gives tips on
everything from preventing being ripped off to tips on writing.
You
want to write a book. Maybe you have the manuscript completed. Now
what? Briles gives tons of information on how to go through the
publishing process and what to watch out for. She writes about
generating captivating headlines, how to avoid the “Did It
Yourself” look. She clarifies what you need to do as the author and
when to hire professionals. She helps with getting your book in
libraries. She even includes tips on how to get reviewers for your
book. She writes about working with Amazon and gives suggestions for
marketing.
The
best part of the book just might be the resources Briles includes.
Many are websites with free tutorials and aids. Just when you think
you've seen all the online resources, Briles lists more at the end of
the book.
I
highly recommend this book to potential writers and authors who are
ready to publish their work. You'll find out pretty much everything
you need to know to make your book launch a success while avoiding a
bunch of potential blunders.
My
rating: 5/5 stars.
