Publication 01: What is it and how to proceed?

The processes by which an author, especially a new, and previously unpublished author, must navigate to get published, can at first glance be daunting. Many authors don’t fully understand what it demands and what is expected.

Let me help you.

In this blog post series “Publication,” I’ll try to simplify the uncertainty you might feel as you approach the process of publication. I’ll discuss the broad subject of publishing. Then, when the process of publication is covered, I’ll focus on the expanding field of self-publishing.

In general, the topics I will cover are:

• What exactly is publishing and what is involved in preparing your manuscript?

• Formatting the book - What must be determined before you have your published, printed book in your hands?

• Designing the book cover

• Publishing levels

• What is the difference between them?

• The level you, as an author, must chose is an important choice between the Big brick and mortar publishing houses to Self-publishing.
