Inside information — myths busted

Information from an experienced book and magazine author, editor, reviewer, and extensive knowledge about publishing industry. Steps to take if believing myths has caused your book efforts to stall. The role of the publisher, author, editor, and publicist are all explained. Authors ofter misunderstand these roles. Success depends on understanding what must be done, and how to continually do what is needed.

If you are a non-fiction writer, this book will give you a wealth of information on what publishing looks like from the inside. The key insight of the book is that publishers don't need a manuscript; what they want is a proposal. As much as I have learned from professors and published authors, I have never found so much practical information from a publisher's perspective.
