Episode 43
E43 Misconception #2: You can do “good enough” editing and book design, so there’s no reason to pay for it.
- “Because most writers have totally unrealistic concepts of how publishing works.” — Jim Harrison
- Similar to trying to fix your own electric (or your own plumbing), you’re MUCH better off getting professional help.
- There are more than 400 steps to publishing a book. (Why would you spend the time, when instead you can be out speaking and connecting with potential clients?)
- Remember that most publishers only offer “one slice of pizza”. So make sure you get the whole pizza pie instead. Yummy!
- [TAKE ACTION] Find the right publisher for you, preferably someone who offers concierge, comprehensive, full-service publishing all under one roof!
