Produktbeschreibung

Your dream is to write a book, get it published, and then have people read what you have written. It may be a novel or a non-fiction work. But you don't know where to start. Or doors are slammed in your face every way you turn. Publishing houses ignore you. Agents reject you without comment. You are on the verge of giving up your dream of becoming a published author.

Stop! You can have that dream. If you have the ability to write, and if you have stories and characters or a non-fiction topic of interest, then you can find a publisher and a readership. Or if you are a public speaker, consultant, presenter or otherwise have a following or an audience, you are missing a great opportunity if you do not have a book to offer for sale at your events.

Writing, becoming a published author, and having your book find a readership is one of the most fulfilling things most of us will ever experience, yet it can also be the most frustrating and discouraging. Now, in this straight-shooting, real-world book, award-winning and best-selling author Don Keith takes you through the steps to give your creation the best chance of finding a publisher...and, more importantly to some, having it read and appreciated.

Keith has been there and pulls no punches when talking about the chances for finding fame and fortune by writing and publishing books.

In simple language, this author of more than two-dozen booksincluding best-sellers and works now in pre-production as major motion picturestells prospective writers exactly how to improve their odds of getting a book published, promoted, sold, and read.

If you want to get your book published...and read...this work may be the best investment you will ever make in your writing career . Or if you just need that little push to get your publishing efforts out of stall mode, then this book is for you.
