Synopsis

Millions of people dream of one day writing a book, selling it to a major publisher and watching it climb the New York Times Best Seller list . For many that dream will remain just that a dream. Not that they dont have talent and determination but because they have not learned how the publishing business works what it takes to get a book sold. The main difference between a published author and an equally talented aspiring writer is that the successful author has learned how to package and sell his work. To demystify the process of getting a book written and sold to a publisher, Robert Bly draws entirely on his first-hand experiences as one of Americas most prolific published authors with a total of 45 books published and more under contract. In How To Get Your Book Published, Bly for the first time reveals the immensely successful techniques he has developed over the last 18 years. * Ten effective ways to come up with saleable book ideas. * The eight essential steps to getting a nonfiction book published. * How to write a winning content outline. * Developing a powerful book proposal. * Finding a literary agent to represent you. * Negotiating the book contract including authors advances and royalties. * A look at the pros and cons of self-publishing. * Directories of literary agents, major publishers, ghostwriters, editors and book doctors to help get your book into shape. * Actual proposals for books Bly successfully sold to publishers. * One complete book contract with Blys commentary. * NEW Self-Publishing Options ...Print-on-Demand & Internet Publishing.
