Publishing 101: A First-Time Author's Guide to Getting Published, Marketing and Promoting Your Book, and Building a Successful Career
Whether youâ€™ve finished a manuscript or just have the seeds of an idea, learn how to smartly approach editors and agents with your work, while avoiding the pitfalls of first-time authorship.

Experienced editor and publisher Jane Friedman offers insights from more than 15 years of working on both sides of the desk, and offers step-by-step advice on:
- evaluating the commercial potential for your work
- finding and approaching editors and agents professionally
- preparing query letters and book proposal materials
- marketing and promoting your work effectively
- protecting your rights and avoid infringing on othersâ€™ rights, and
- understanding the self-publishing and ebook marketâ€”and if itâ€™s the right path for you.
PUBLISHING 101 describes the dramatic changes underway in the publishing industry, as ebook sales increase and physical bookstores decrease in number. These changes affect how authors get book dealsâ€”meaning you need to be prepared to adapt to a risk-averse industry during a time of uncertainty.

Avoid frustrationâ€”donâ€™t embark on the submission process without being fully educated about how the industry works. Youâ€™ll better focus your time and energy, increase your chances of success, and learn to decipher the language of industry professionals.
