So You Want to Get Published – IWOSC Has Advice

gettingpublished-mastheadToday’s publishing market is more competitive than it has ever been, and millions of new authors rush in without educating themselves. Learn how to avoid the rookie mistakes:
You’re not just writing a story; you’re running a business.
The industry hasn’t changed as much as you think.
Self-publishing is not the liberating experience that you expect.
Agents and publishers aren’t as evil as you’ve been told.
You might be looking for love in all the wrong places.
Author Steve Hutson will examine the workings of the publishing industry. Writing, editing, acquisitions, agents, editors, copyright, platform, contracts, self-publishing, and more. Why do some books succeed, while so many fail? Bring your questions, your thick skin, and your hard-learned lessons. While this is from an agent’s point of view, and you may still wish to look into self-publishing as an option, many of these points will be eye-openers and most of the content applies to any book, regardless of how it is published.
