Publishing Consultation
To the new or less experienced author, today's publishing business looks like a jungle of impossibly complex options. You may have a number of basic questions—the answers to which could impact how you approach a writing project:
- Is it realistic to expect to find an agent and a publisher for my book idea?
- How do you find an agent?
- What would I have to show an agent or publisher to get them interested?
- What are the tradeoffs between traditional publishing and self-publishing?
- Are there differences among the self-publishing companies?
- What kind of help would I need to prepare a manuscript for submission?
- Should I consider publishing over the Internet instead of in print?
- How long do any of these processes take?
There are lots of resources available for anyone with the time to research the answers to these kinds of questions. If you prefer to talk personally with someone who can help guide you through these issues, I would be very happy to have a conversation to start moving you closer to your goals.
