Publish Your Writing
Navigating traditional publishing vs. self-publishing.
Choosing between traditional publishing and self-publishing is a major decision for any writer. Understanding the differences is critical for determining the best path to share your work with the world.
Understanding the manuscript submission process.
Navigating the manuscript submission process is essential for getting your work published. From preparing your manuscript to selecting the right publishers or agents, understanding each step can increase your chances of success.
Taking the time to refine every word of your query letter is an investment in your future as an author.
This single page has the power to capture an agent’s attention, spark curiosity, and open the door to endless opportunities—or it can close that door just as quickly if not done right. A compelling and well delivered query isn’t just about summarizing your book; it’s about selling your story and yourself as an author.
It’s your chance to highlight what makes your work unique, why it matters, and how it aligns with the agent or publisher you’re targeting. A well-crafted pitch demonstrates professionalism, showcases your voice, and leaves the reader eager to know more.
Selecting a publisher.
A publisher isn't just a platform for your book; they are your partner in bringing your vision to life and connecting it with the world. Understanding what different publishers offer—from marketing reach to creative support—can make all the difference in finding the perfect fit for your book’s genre, audience, and your long-term career aspirations.
Publishing contracts and author rights.
Understanding publishing contracts and your rights is essential for protecting your work and navigating the publishing industry. Knowing key contract terms can help you secure fair agreements and maintain control over your creative content.
