Your Top 6 Questions About Publishing

Published: Sat, 10/13/18

Hi WriteByNighters,

Since announcing our new publication assistance services last week, we've received a boatload of questions about the how-tos and the dos and don'ts of publishing.

In this week's post, I aim to answer six of the questions we see most often, including:

Should I find a publisher or self-publish my book? Do I need an agent?

And, perhaps the question we get more than any other: Is my book good enough to publish?

(Spoiler alert: The answer is yes! Always. But... with some caveats.)

Obviously there are more than six possible questions about publishing. The waters of the publishing industry are difficult to navigate, and they're teeming with mines. (Yes, water mines are a thing!)

But this week's post, "Your Top 6 Questions About Publishing," is a darn good place to start.

So stop on by to check 'em out. And if you have a burning question of your own about publishing, feel free to leave it in the comments and we'll reply.

Or, if you'd rather chat in private and one-on-one, sign up for a free consultation. We'll talk through your goals and how WriteByNight can help you reach them.

Cheers,

David

P.P.S. A few years ago, Zadie Smith, one of my favorites, offered ten rules about writing, including something I always try to do: "Leave a decent space of time between writing something and editing it."
