Calling All Authors Everything the author of fiction and non-fiction needs to know about the road to publication, understanding the book industry, and how to sell that book! Over the last five years, due to the advent of self-publishing and media marketing, publication is actually easier, but it's infinitely more difficult to get a mainstream contract. Thus, whatever method you aim for, you must have immaculate manuscript presentation, sound knowledge of the book industry, and dogged determination to make sales. Mary Cavanagh, a successful novelist and short story writer, has had first-hand experience of all publishing methods, the jungle of the book industry, and the many successful methods of making sales. In Calling All Authors she aims to demystify all the necessary processes in a concise, lively, and highly readable way, with some very useful contributions from a wide range of other successful authors.
