The holiday season is a happy time for most and it is in the holiday spirit that I write this blog. If you are laboring away at a manuscript and are at times perplexed about writing and publishing, you aren’t alone. This is a tough business and it’s difficult to get your writing noticed and read. Your decision on how to publish can be confusing, expensive and costly in a number of ways if you make the wrong choice.

Help is available and there are answers to all your questions. Don’t rush into anything, ask for advice and do your homework before you purchase a product or service. Avoid companies or individuals that make wild promises because there are no guarantees in publishing. Take your time, complete your manuscript, find a competent editor, then worry about publishing and marketing your book.

I’ve been fortunate to have developed a tremendous number of contacts throughout publishing and my mission is to help you make the right decisions about how to publish, how to market and all related matters. I’m tired of unsuspecting writers being taken advantage of and during hard economic times when there are deals galore.

Don’t fall for the pitch, if you make the right choice, anything is possible in publishing.
