Book Publishing

I worked for many years in book publishing, mostly as a college-textbook editor, marketing manager, and sales rep, but also as an independent publisher, publishing educator, industry maven, and computer-systems expert. I worked at St. Martin’s Press, The Dushkin Publishing Group, Prentice-Hall, and Benjamin/Cummings.

After discovering the internet in 1988 and developing some computing and internet skills, I made the transition from print publishing to online publishing in 1996, and I haven’t looked back.

I still keep in touch with many publishing friends and know enough about the business to offer somewhat relevant advice to my friends.

How to Get Published

Folks frequently ask me how to get their book published. I’m a little out of the loop on the details, and there are many more options for authors now, so I refer folks to these websites:

Conventional Publishing

  • Writing-World.com
  • SoYouWanna.com
  • How to Get a Book Published

Self Publishing

  • ParaPublishing
  • Lisa Shea
  • Book Publishers Network
  • Lulu
