While working at a 9 to 5 job, I read this book, and it got me thinking that I could write non-fiction books. I followed Robert's advice and wrote a proposal, which got accepted by a publisher. I immediately quit my job. I'm now writing my third non-fiction book.

. . . or publishing yourself. Getting Your Book Published describes how to find and work with an agent and how to find and work with a publisher. Eighty percent of the books purchased by the five big (New York) publishers are agented; 20% are sold to them directly.

Bob Bly describes evaluating your idea, creating your outline, proposal writing, locating a literary agent, selling to a publisher, negotiating the contract, and delivering the manuscript. He even compares selling out to self-publishing.

Bob Bly is a very successful author and business copywriter. (Click on his name above to see the list of his Works.)

As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I highly recommend this volume to writers DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.
