A why-to guide on getting published, from an internationally best-selling author of fiction for children and adults (including world-wide best-seller, Jane Blonde), published by 3 of the 'big six'. Advice on how to sort through the bewildering range of options open to authors, from a well-published writer and coach and former publisher, who's seen it from all angles. Exploring creativity, the writer's need to write and how to best serve the author through today's wide variety of publishing media.
There have been many books written about the How-to's of writing and publishing but few on the Why-to.Internationally respected author and publisher,Jill Marshall's new book "Writers Gotta Write" fills this void.
Written in a conversational style and filled with insightful anecdotes and humor, this book is definitely a must-read for all would-be authors and those already in the publishing industry who are perhaps feeling rather jaded by the entire process and are wondering "why did I do it?"
This isn't a how-to book but more of a what-to ie what to do with your completed manuscript. Do you self publish or try with a traditional publisher or somewhere in between? And yes, there are inbetweens. This book got me writing again after a particularly harrowing time when I lost my way as far as my writing is concerned. I am now about to self publish my first ebook as a result. The easy-going style was a delight to read and I found myself empathising with both the publisher and author alter egos portrayed. Read this book after a rejection and it will get you writing again!
