Have you written a book but don't know how to go about getting it published?

Have you published a book but are hunting for more ways to improve your bottom line?

The Business of Writing: Practical Insights for Independent, Hybrid, and Traditionally Published Authors is the go-to guide for everyone wishing to start--or jump-start--their writing careers.

Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, discover the answers to such questions as:
--Do I really need to incorporate, what "flavor" of company should I set up, and how do I take the plunge?
--How do I manage my writing expenses and taxes?
--What is an ISBN, where do I get one, and how many will I need?
--What is an imprint and how do I establish one for my books?
--What decisions must I face in the prepublication phase?
--Do I need to register my book's copyright and how do I accomplish it? What about using other copyrighted materials?
--How on earth do I condense my 100K-word book to a 300-word description, let alone a 20-word tagline?
--How do I select the best keywords for my book?
--What makes for a great cover and how can I get one?
--What do I need to know about book formatting--print as well as digital?
--How can I turn my book into an audiobook?
--How do I develop and refine my author brand?
--How can I land invitations to speak at conferences and conventions?
--I use several pseudonymns. How do I manage them all?
--What's an ARC? A media kit? A book trailer? A blog tour?
--Do I really need to start a blog? Send out a newsletter? Dive into social media? Give away my books?
--How do I price my book? Should I pick one price or vary it? Where are the best places to advertise my sale events?
--How much is all of this going to cost me??

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the publication and promotion process, let award-winning, critically acclaimed author Kim Iverson Headlee give you the practical wisdom you need to stay on task and perhaps even come out ahead.
