Writers question everything--authority, reality, status quo. But when they have questions about the craft, business and idiosyncrasies of writing there was no single source for fast answers--until now. Writer's Market FAQs provides all the information in one easy-to-use, comprehensive reference, covering topics like: * Inspiration * Getting Published * E-Publishing * Protecting Your Work * Working with Agents and Editors Nearly all writers want to be published--more easily, more often, or for more money. They also want inside information on how publishing works and how they can improve their chances of getting published. Peter Rubie's quick-reference, question-and-answer approach delivers the goods easily and rapidly.

"There are a lot of books about writing," says Peter Rubie in Writer's Market FAQs, but few address "the metamorphosing business of publishing." Being a successful writer, Rubie advises, has as much to do with understanding marketing and sales and audience as it does with writing well. That's no surprise to anyone who's been in the business a day or two, but it might well shock the supernovice. Newly aspiring book authors have much to glean from Writer's Market FAQs, in which Rubie, an agent as well as an author, provides questions and answers to nearly 300 questions about publishing. Rubie divides his questions into 10 categories, including agents, editors, and other publishing people; marketing your work; how your manuscript becomes a book; reading the contract; and e-publishing and other routes. With terrific lay translations of typical contract terms and the Association of Authors' Representatives Code of Ethics. --Jane Steinberg
Peter Rubie is the president of Peter Rubie Literary Agency, and the author of a number of fiction and nonfiction books, including How to Tell a Story. He is a publishing expert for AskMe.com. He lives in New York City.
