About this title

Review

Judith Appelbaum has analyzed publishing as a columnist and reviewer for The New York Times Book Review and as managing editor of Publishers Weekly and now directs a book marketing firm that evolved out of this book. Includes practical and informative chapters on queries, options, agents, major changes in the publishing industry, and reviews of hundreds of writer's resources for fiction and non-fiction writers alike.

From the Publisher

Hundreds of thousands of writers -- professionals as well as beginners -- have read, followed and benefited from How to Get Happily Published.

This new edition adds material on making deals with publishers (and what's important), working with small publishers (and when that's preferable), capitalizing on contacts (and where to make them), deciding whether to self-publish (and how much that costs), using new electronic media (to publish; to get publicity, promotion and sales; to uncover information, and to connect with enthusiastic readers), and making your work sell better (whoever the publisher is). Plus hundreds of new resources -- books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, groups, experts and Internet sites covering every step of the publishing process.
