The Everything Get Published Book

Being a total novice to the publishing industry I found The Everything Get Published Book by Peter Rubie pretty helpful. It covered everything from writing tools, marketing yourself to an agent, to P.O.D. publishing. I also found it to have a fairly good reference section with agents names and addresses as well as publishing companies and their URL's. Some where outdated, but the book was copyrighted in 2000 also. Overall I found a worthwhile read.

Considering Getting Published?

If you are just beginning to ponder the idea of publishing your manuscript- this is a great first book.It walks you through the step-by-step process, or you can simply flip to the section you need information about.This book contains excellent sidebars with quick and easy tips on the do's and don'ts of submitting and getting published.It's especially helpful to those who may not know all the writer lingo out there.One of the best pieces of advice appears on page 53, which discusses the importance of reading. Reading anything and everything is essential to becoming a good writer. There are selections for each genre of book with suggested reading titles and authors.My advice- read and write everyday, make the time. Study this book and other books about publishing, so that you are prepared for the work. Yes, believe it or not, it is hard work to be a writer and more so to becoming a published writer.This would be a good gift for a 'would be' writer or yourself!

Read; Heed; Send Your Manuscript!

As an author - The Ghostwriter Mystery Series - and thenon-fiction, Foxy Forever ...and a very happy client of the PeterRubie Literary Agency - I suggest you buy, read and heed his advice!When I started working on Ghostwriter, I had no idea that my idea could become a series! However, my agent, Peter Rubie, knew and sold my proposal as a three book deal. The invaluable tips of the trade that he shares in this comprehensive, fun-to-read text book can be your path to publication. I'm thrilled that Peter opted to use my Ghostwriter proposal as a fiction sample in his The Everything Get Published Book. I teach workshops at the Writer's Center in Bethesda, MD and at the Florida Center for the Book in Fort Lauderdale. Peter Rubie's book has been added to my program!
