[stylist] Chelsea's Writing and Answers

[Donna Hill]

Hi Chelsae,
 In terms of getting published, have you read "Getting Your Book 
Published for Dummies" by Sarah Parsons Zackheim ?  NLS has it at least 
as a recorded book -- not sure about Braille.  It's a few years old, but 
I thought it was excellent.  It gives you a good overview of the 
industry, how to find the right publisher for your work, how to approach 
editors, publishers and agents for fiction and nonfiction projects and 
so on.  There are a lot of tips from industry insiders and info on 
contracts and how the whole process works.  If you haven't read 
something like that, I recommend that you do, so you understand the 
industry.  It can help you avoid being scammed and also help you 
understand the process from the point of  view of the professionals.  It 
also has info on self publishing and e book publishing.
Donna
