"The most thorough, accurate, user-friendly, well-organized and inspiring guide for writers on the market today. Period."--Richard Carlson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff This expert guide has put the dream of acquiring a publisher within reach for thousands of writers. Whether your book idea is a completed manuscript or still in the planning stages, The Shortest Distance Between You and a Published Book offers comprehensive, industry-savvy guidance on the steps to take to sell your book to a major publisher. Literary agents often advise their clients to read this book as their first step. Susan Page is the author of several bestselling self-help books, and a veteran of the publishing industry. Here, she'll guide you step-by-step through the roadblocks that stall other writers and help you toward a publishing strategy that gets results. You'll find in-depth information on the early steps to take, writing title ideas, developing winning book proposals, finding an agent, understanding publishing contracts, promoting your book, and more. Throughout the process, Page coaches you through both the emotional and practical obstacles you're likely to face. It's a must-read for anyone interested in a career as a published author. "Page, as her subtitle claims, really does tell you what you need to know to get happily published. This self-help author (If I'm So Wonderful, Why Am I Still Single?) knows what she's talking about, whether she's advising on how to write a book proposal, find an agent or promote one's book . . . This is one of the more instructive guides to read before writing your book."--Publishers Weekly Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

First off, a word of warning--this book is for non-fiction writers, not fiction writers. If you want to publish a novel, this is not the resource you need.
The implication behind the title is that your ultimate goal is a published book. Things like the topic are a secondary concern to this author. There seems to be an overarching sense that it does not matter what you can contribute with your book; the important part is being able to sell yourself and your book topic to a publisher to achieve the goal of publication. Perhaps that is the way of the world, but it is a bit of a turn-off to me.
To be fair, a lot of good advice appears to be mixed in. However, this is not a book that I would recommend. ( )
