How to Write and Publish Your Book

Writing and publishing are related jobs, but they are not the same job. This complete guide takes a first-time author through choosing and developing an idea, creating a workable manuscript, revising it, preparing the files and making sensible publishing decisions. It explains the stages without treating authorship as either mystical inspiration or a guaranteed business scheme. The aim is straightforward: help a writer understand the work, finish the work and produce a book that is ready to meet a reader.
