Becoming a published author is every serious writer's dream, but it takes much more than good writing and wishful thinking to make that dream a reality. The publishing industry follows strict rules that you must know about, from establishing your genre to manuscript style, writing query letters and submitting book proposals. You will not only learn the basics of writing, but also such things as time management, dealing with stress and writer's block. Once you have your manuscript ready, you need to know how to secure an agent, find a suitable publisher and land a good book contract. With all of this completed, your work is still cut out for you. Publishers generally do not promote their books other than listing them on their web sites. You will also learn the most important (and least expensive) ways to market and advertise both yourself and your book, saving you countless hours of research.
