What’s the problem? My sister has written a book and is asking me all sorts of advice about how to get it published. She didn’t appreciate my response. I told her to contact Rusty Tanton and get him to set her up a website and she could publish it on the web and didn’t need an agent or a publisher or a whatever. Her response was not exactly nice, but when she pointed out that my suggestion would cheat her out of millions of dollars in royalties, I agreed that Rusty was not the man.
So how do I get my sister’s book published? Certainly, someone out there that reads this blog occasionally can be kind enough to point me in the right direction or to the right person. I just want someone she can put her trust in so that she doesn’t keep bothering me. So, if you have any experience with this, please, please, help me! It will only take a moment.
Thanks to whoever it is that answers this question.
Yeah, if the New York Times can’t figure out how to turn a buck with online publishing, woe on the rest of us.
Last weekend at the WAM conference, I attended a session called “How to write a book proposal that sells.” I live-blogged it here (scroll to 2:05pm). Maybe some of that will be useful!
Thanks Amber!
