First Review for The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published

Arielle Eckstut

The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published: Brainstorms and Bylines In Inspiration, Reviews on October 26, 2010 at 6:30 AM

Good nonfiction books give you information. Great ones give you ideas. After reading The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published by Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, I have to say it falls nicely into the latter category. My ARC looks like a porcupine with the all the page flags that are sticking out everywhere.

Originally published as Putting Your Passion Into Print, this latest edition has been revised to include the most recent technological advances in the world of publishing. Like most books in the category, this one covers everything from pitch to print. It leads the reader step-by-step through putting together a proposal, finding an agent, finishing the book and landing a publisher. And then it goes the extra mile with sections devoted to publicity, marketing, social media, self-publishing, electronic publishing and more.

Unlike many books I’ve read about publishing, Eckstut and Sterry don’t pretend that every author is on the path to a smooth publishing experience. Not only do they tell you what to do in the best case scenarios, they address how to deal with the worst-case ones as well. What happens if your agent stops communicating with you? What if you sign with a publisher, deliver the book, and they decide to reject it? It’s in there.

The book’s engaging conversational style makes it an easy and entertaining read. And while the main thrust of the information is geared toward nonfiction writers, there’s something in here for everyone.
