Description: Marketing Your Book: an author's guide, 2nd ed. --Alison Baverstock

From the back cover:

If your manuscript is nearing completion, or you have a really strong writing idea that you are determined to see published, then this is the book for you.

It's important to grasp early that writing is a highly competitive profession. Every day agents and publishers worldwide receive thousands of unsolicited manuscripts and there are many, many more in the pipeline. Nor are your troubles over should you be fortunate enough to find an agent or publisher willing to represent you. You will almost certainly get less attention than you think you deserve and you will need to get involved in helping your book sell.

Includes invaluable advice on:
  • What to send to agents and publishers
  • When and how best to make contact
  • How to format your material to make optimum impression
  • How to ensure your manuscript gets looked at
  • Working with your publisher on marketing and publicity . . . and more

From Mark Le Fanu, General Secretary, Society of Authors: "What authors need is good practical advice. This book provides it."

Alison Baverstock teaches marketing to students of Creative Writing at Kingston University. She is the author of fourteen books.
