Review: The Right Way to Write, Publish, and Sell Your Book


"Throughout these pages, you will bathe in the wisdom of publishing experts ... those of you who will ultimately succeed in meeting your writing/publishing goals are those who can ... embrace the information within..."

By walking readers through the writing and publishing processes, with her newest release, The Right Way to Write, Publish, and Sell Your Book, author Patricia Fry again strives to help authors discover how to be the very best they can be by using prudent planning, intelligent research, and (most importantly) learning how to apply their newfound knowledge.

With her straightforward writing style, Patricia starts by telling readers how it is--not how they think it should be--then continues in her educational quest by dispersing a few myths while assisting authors in setting aside their too often unrealistic expectations.

But there's much more, for after providing the initial reality-check Fry then encourages authors to apply their talents wisely as she leads them through the maze of not only how to write their book but what to do with it once they get it written.

Comprising of several chapters on topics such as finding an agent, publisher or even self-publishing, as well as many more on how to organize, market and promote, readers will find a wealth of knowledge within along with great resources, links, leads, hints and ideas on how the authors themselves can be the deciding factor in their having a good or bad publishing experience.

There's over three-hundred pages of hard-earned wisdom from a veteran who "knows her stuff" packed into this work and any author who wants to not only publish but to increase their chances of succeeding while they do it would be wise to add this work to their collection.

Very Well Done, Patricia!
