This review is from: How to Get Published -- Guaranteed (Revised & Updated Second Edition) (Paperback)

This is a do-it-yourself text on how to write, publish and promote your book by a gifted fiction writer. While Chevy Alden has also written nonfiction he has a fiction author's perspective; rare in how-to-publish books.

Alden takes you though every step of writing, typesetting, printing and promoting. He tells you how to set up your publishing company, discusses financing your company and reveals some interesting legal considerations.

Also see his unique book: How to Write, Publish & Sell your own Aviation Books.

As a publisher, author of 28 Books, 109 revised editions, six translations and over 500 magazine articles as well as a consultant to the book publishing industry, I spend much of my time doing research. I will refer to this book again and again.
