Learn How to Create, Develop and Publish a Book in Today’s Market 

There are five key mistakes that Newbie Authors make:

• They fail to have their books professionally edited
• They get taken by publishing predators
• They don’t treat authoring and publishing as a business
• They rush to publish
• They fail to market their book once it’s published
  

The Internet and POD—print-on-demand method of printing—has created more trash than the book buying public needs, or wants. Why? Simply because authors are “publishing” without caring or knowing the ins and outs of being an author and publishing a book. They get duped by publishers, publishing and others who want their money.  Publishing predators lurk in just about every corner—offering deals to publish an author for a steal of a deal, than compound it with hefty sums of add-on moneys … after the contract is signed!

The large publishers are downsizing, the traditional brick & mortar stores are closing, and readers are embracing eBooks. Authoring and Book Creation is morphing on a daily basis.
