There are three key mistakes that newbie authors make:
They fail to have their books professionally edited;
They rush to publish; and
They fail to market their book once it’s publish
The POD—print-on-demand method of printing—has created more trash than the book buying public needs, or wants. Why? Simply because authors are “publishing” without caring or knowing the ins and outs of being an author and publishing a book. They get duped by publishers, publishing and others who want their money. Publishing predators lurk in just about every corner—offering deals to publish an author for a steal of a deal, then compound it with hefty sums of add-on moneys … after the contract is signed!
The large publishers are downsizing, the traditional brick & mortar stores are closing, and readers are embracing eBooks. These and other changes are affecting literary agents, wholesalers, distributors, reviewers, printers, truckers and everyone in the book trade. The winners will be the authors and smaller publishers.
