Learn How to Create, Develop and Publish a Book in Today's Market
There are three key mistakes that newbie authors make:
- They fail to have their books professionally edited;
- They rush to publish; and
- They fail to market their book once it’s published
The POD—print-on-demand method of printing—has created more trash than the book buying public needs, or wants. Why? Simply because authors are “publishing” without caring or knowing the ins and outs of publishing a book. They get duped by publishers and others who simply want their money. Publishing predators lurk in just about every corner. They might offer deals to publish an author for a steal of a deal, only to find that it is compounded with hefty sums of add-on moneys… which are conveniently unfurled after the contract is signed!
