How to Be Published

Theoretically there has never been a better time to become a published writer. But for anyone looking to venture into today’s publishing landscape, it can be a daunting prospect—self-publish? Look for an agent? Go direct to an indie publisher? And what exactly is digital-first publishing? How to Be Published is the first book to offer an unbiased guide to the pros and cons of self-publishing versus traditional publishing, along with all the myriad options in between—helping an author navigate the complex world of publishing and find the best path for them, their book, and their writing aspirations.

"Navigating the murky waters of first-time publishing can be intimidating. I wish I'd had a guide like this when I was first deciding between self and traditional publishing." —Mary Widdicks, author of the 'Mermaid Asylum' series
