After publishing my first book with a traditional publisher, I want to share how to get into that 1-10% of published manuscripts. Authors go crazy with the process of getting a publisher to buy their manuscript, and that's normal. Whether you already have your manuscript finished, or you've just started it, or you dream of writing it soon, this video will help you understand the long process that goes from having your manuscript finished to having the first copy in your hands (what a feeling!). Don't trust everything you hear. Not even this video. Draw your own conclusions. My purpose is to share the things that worked for me and other authors, without having thousands of followers on social media or having contacts in the publishing world. I will show you with total transparency the steps I took (and didn't take) to get two publishers to show interest in publishing my novel.
