Follow The Wisdom In This Book To Make A Great First Impression

Experienced publishing experts Sharlene Martin and Anthony Flacco pour their wisdom into this book which is clearly targeted to someone they call "the 'considerate writer' one who carefully considers the structure and function of the literary market, including the question of how his or her work will fit in there. Considerate writers are mindful of the position of those who receive their calls, letters, e-mails, and submissions, so that they always express an exemplary standard. Considerate writers are determined to sharpen their skills and improve their game precisely because they have carefully considered the market in which they seek to prevail. That is the path offered to you in this book." (Page 2)

This book is packed with insight about each juncture of selling a commercial nonfiction book into today's marketplace--from crafting a stand-out book proposal to an eye-catching query to proper dealings with an agent to the book contract to scheduling your writing to complete the book on schedule. Whether you've written one book or many books, you can profit from PUBLISH YOUR NONFICTION BOOK. I hope this book becomes a classic and helps many writers.
