'I wish I'd had a guide like this when I was first deciding between self and traditional publishing' —Mary Widdicks, author of the Mermaid Asylum series

There has never been a better time to become a published writer. But for anyone looking to venture into today's publishing landscape, it can be a daunting prospect – self-publish? Look for an agent? Go direct to an indie publisher? And what exactly is digital-first publishing?

From the successful author Lynn Morrison, How to Be Published is the first book to offer an unbiased guide to the pros and cons of self-publishing versus traditional publishing, along with all the myriad options in between – helping an author navigate the complex world of publishing and find the best path for them, their book and their writing aspirations.

Whether the ink is just dry on your manuscript, or you're in the midst of drafting, don't take another step until you've read this book.

'So, you've written and published... now what? You read this manual! It's a fantastic resource for anyone looking to get their writing in front of more people. Morrison turns the overwhelming task of marketing into bite-size tips and tutorials that anyone can implement' -Stephanie Jankowski, author of Schooled (Page Street Publishing, January 2020)

'Navigating the murky waters of first-time publishing can be intimidating. I wish I'd had a guide like this when I was first deciding between self and traditional publishing' -Mary Widdicks, author of the Mermaid Asylum series
