Whether you've finished your manuscript or just have the seeds of a book idea, PUBLISHING 101 shows you how to approach editors and agents with your work, while avoiding the common pitfalls of first-time authorship. Experienced editor and publisher Jane Friedman offers insights from more than 15 years of working on both sides of the desk, and offers step-by-step advice on: - evaluating the commercial potential for your work - finding and approaching editors and agents professionally - preparing query letters and book proposal materials - marketing and promoting your work effectively - protecting your rights and avoid infringing on others' rights, and - understanding the self-publishing and ebook market-and if it's the right path for you.
