The Author's Toolkit: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing and Publishing Your Book

by Mary Embree

In this handy guide, aspiring authors who have always wanted to write a book but didn’t know how to begin will find coaching for every step of the writing and publishing process. A veteran author, editor, writing coach, and book doctor provides readers with expert advice for writing fiction and nonfiction: nurturing beginning ideas; making full use of resources for planning and research; organizing a plot; delineating characters; avoiding writer pitfalls; following proper writing and editing fundamentals; finding the “hook” to attract publisher interest; creating a manuscript with a professional presentation; registering copyright; seeking literary agents; understanding contracts; publishing electronically; promoting and marketing a finished book; and more. Written in a concise, easy-to-follow style, this guide also offers a treasure chest of resources for writers seeking professional advice, publications, Web sites, writing organizations, and much more.
 
Reviews

“If you’re having trouble with your magnum opus, author Mary Embree may have just what you are looking for.”

—Los Angeles Times

“‘Toolkit’ is actually an apt name for this little handbook, which covers each step of the writing process in short chapters: beginning ideas, planning and research, writing and editing fundamentals, manuscript submission, copyright, literary agents, contracts, and publishing in an electronic environment. . . . A useful gift . . .”

—Library Journal

“Mary Embree was a skilled guide to the nuts and bolts of the publishing process, from query letter to final submission.”

—Mary Palevsky, Ph.D., author of Atomic Fragments: A Daughter’s Questions”

—Colin Brown, Editor-in-Chief, Screen International

"This long-overdue manual contains a wealth of practical advice for producers, directors and all independent moviemakers shooting for an international edge."
