The business of book publishing has changed dramatically over the past decade, and most of the advice people give is dated and wrong.
Many people are confused by the publishing landscape (which is understandable), and want a lot more background information before starting on their book publishing journey. This episode is long and comprehensive, and answers questions like these:
How does the book publishing business work?
What are the most important things to know?
What is “self-publishing”?
What is “traditional publishing”?
What is the difference and why does it matter?
Should I self-publish or traditionally publish my book?
How do I get a traditional publishing deal?
How do I evaluate traditional publishers?
What is professional vs. amateur in publishing, and why does that matter?
This episode will examine the three book publishing options commonly available, explain the pros and cons of each, and help you understand exactly which one you should select.
