The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published, 5th Edition - Step-by-Step Book Publishing Guide for Authors & Writers - Perfect for Self-Publishing, Traditional Publishing & eBook Writing

I have bought and read several books on publishing in the last year, and this is the one I liked the best, by far.The authors have a mountain of writing and publishing experience between them. They write in a fun, easy to read style. The book is entertaining while still managing to be packed full of useful information. They give detailed descriptions of every step involved in publishing. The instructions are easy to follow and extremely helpful. This book breaks everything down and makes it seem very managable. This was helpful, in my opinion, because the process of seeking publication was far more intimidating to me than actually writing the book itself.The fifth edition of this book came out a few weeks after I bought the fourth edition - I liked it so well that I went ahead and bought the fifth edition too. The fifth edition is great - it adds more information about email and online submssions, ebooks, and all of the most recent changes in technology and publishing. It was well worth the purchase price of the duplicate copy.This book is outstanding in every way.
