Getting Published: How to Learn and Master the Business of Writing
by David Magee
Sure, good writing matters. But there are thousands of good writers in the world and you are only one of them. The only way to separate yourself and break into publishing with six-figure contracts is to learn and master the business side of writing.
Getting Published, by non-fiction business author David Magee, is the first book teaching writers how to break into print by focusing more on the business aspects of big-time publishing.
Magee is a former newspaper editor who tells how he decided to become a full-time book writer and spent a year learning the business of publishing before writing a single word. The result: Two six figure contracts from New York publishers in fourteen months.
The book is a useful blend of personal anecdotes and experiences with New York agents and editors and how-to information on getting published and publishing.
Magee explains how most first-time writers usually choose the wrong subject and fail to understand the importance of who will buy their book and why. He also provides specifics on lining up advance sales and proving a book's worth to publishers.
The book offers examples of winning proposals and tells how to build a can't miss marketing plan for your book.
Getting Published: How to Learn and Master the Business of Writing belongs on the desk of any aspiring writer needing an edge to break into print.
