Publishing & Marketing Articles
You've got a great idea for a book, or want to write something that will get published somewhere.
Now what?
Although technology has made it possible for anyone to self-publish their own books and e-books, such ventures should be approached with solid writing skills and a good grasp on marketing concepts and the publishing industry. This also applies to traditional publishing, where stricter standards must be met in order for your work to be seen by the people who make the big decisions.
