Twenty tips and unwritten rules to help you get your manuscript published - and maybe to explain why you've been unsuccessful so far. These tips and hints have been gathered during 30+ years of experience in the professional writing and manuscript assessment field. This edition has been updated because... well, because the unwritten rules evolve.
True to it's title, this ebook provides a wealth of publishing information not found in other books I've read - information normally known and valued only by well established authors and those who have been associated with the industry for many years. I believe it's essential reading for all aspiring and lightly published authors, for it will not only answer the questions you are most likely to already have, but also those that you didn't realise that you should ask. This is a substantial and very detailed ebook with tips, examples and suggestions which I'm sure are likely to significantly smooth your pathway towards, hopefully, book contracts and sales. Highly recommended and great value.
