Publishing 101

You’ve got an idea in your head that sounds like the perfect story. And, before you know it, you’ve put pen to paper, downed gallons of coffee over a ridiculous amount of time, and created a world you hope everyone else will want to live in for a while. But, getting your book in people’s hands is a taller order than the boujee-est latte at Starbucks. And, while there are many routes to publishing, you’ve chosen the more traditional route—submitting your manuscript to publishers. Seems easy enough, right? Riiiiiight. If your google search on publishing doesn’t give you a little anxiety, then you’ve got nerves of steel. Either way, EWR is here to help.

We hope the articles and links we’ve provided settle your questions and get you started in the right direction. While we’ve got plenty of new content on its way, here are just a few subjects we’ll cover to take you from manuscript to publisher:

 

  • The benefits of using beta readers
  • Dealing with feedback
  • The benefits of editing services
  • Why you might need a literary agent
  • Big Pub vs Small Pub
  • The query process
  • Pitch contest and writing conference tips
  • Agent interviews and signing
  • How to build your brand as an author
  • Working with publishers (contract to release day)

 

Getting your dreams off the ground is a lot of work, we know. But, we believe in writers, and we’re excited you’ve chosen us as a resource to turn your story into something the entire world can enjoy. So, make another cup of coffee, let us help you, and don’t forget to tell us about your journey along the way. Leave us a comment or share an article. And let us know if there’s any other content you’d like to see from us in this ever-changing industry. #NeverStopWriting

AI ate my Poetry (Poetry generating Art)

Let me say these two things up front. 1. This is my experience in turning my poetry into visual art. 2. It's also a good "how to convert" your poetry into art.  So I needed some artwork for Every Writer's new digital issue. I've decided to do four issues a year. March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. I'm still playing around with the dates, but the first issue … [Read more...] about AI ate my Poetry (Poetry generating Art)

If I publish in a lot of literary magazines

Will-I-get-a-book-deal-if-I-publish-in-many-literary-magazines

Will I get a book deal if I publish in many literary magazines? Question: Will I get a book deal if I publish in many literary magazines? Answer: Every little bit helps. Publishing with a literary magazine won't get you a book deal, but it can help, especially if you try to publish with a university publisher; in the case of a university press, the more prestigious the … [Read more...] about If I publish in a lot of literary magazines

How to Publish a Short Story

Knowing how to publish a short story is not difficult. I'm astonished by how many writers are terrified to have others read their work. Many people are happy to have a few readers. Some writers will post work on their Facebook, Instagram, blogs, or web pages and let 100s of people read it, but they are afraid to get one rejection from an editor. This is silly. Writing might be … [Read more...] about How to Publish a Short Story

“I’ve Got An Agent Request: Now What?”

Holy rusted metal, Batman! They want more. They really want more! It almost seems surreal, like a dream and a cruel joke all at once because what started as angst over waiting for a literary agent to respond to your query has suddenly turned into a mountain of anxiety in waiting to see if your work measures up. You’ve perfected your pitch, nailed the brown-nosing and first … [Read more...] about “I’ve Got An Agent Request: Now What?”

How I Signed With A 6-Figure Literary Agent

Berkley. Harlequin. Entangled. A six-figure book deal with Feiwel and Friends. An incredible sales record on any literary agent’s résumé. Feel that rush? My thoughts exactly when I signed the dotted line with my dream agent. I’ve fought in the query trenches and lost more battles than I care to admit, but I more than survived. Like Katniss Everdeen, my time in the arena wasn’t … [Read more...] about How I Signed With A 6-Figure Literary Agent
