The number one question so many people have is "how do you get a book published?" I'm dialing it way down to the basics! How do you get a book into bookstores? What are the steps required to be traditionally published? This is a 101 video for anyone who wonders how to get published.
Things I cover in this video:
+ Do you have to finish a book before reaching out to publishers?
+ How to get a literary agent
+ Querying basics
+ Finding a good literary agent
+ Going on submission
+ Selling a book
