Written by successfully published authors (who also happen to be a New York literary agent and West Coast acquiring editor), the book gives author case studies, inside advice, and even sample proposals, contracts, press releases, co-author agreements and more.
This updated third edition features new content on non-fiction successes, hot topics in fiction/non-fiction, how book groups and celebrity-driven clubs help drive sales, the changing world of bookstores and inventory, how world events affect book publishing (book glut), and more!
Featuring inspiring stories about real-life author successes (Donna Tartt's 10 years between novels) and publishing miracles (Jennifer Weiner's story), this book gives authors the most complete handbook on the market for getting published today.
