Produktbeschreibung
At last, a comprehensive guide to the nigh-incomprehensible world of publishing! This frank yet encouraging overview is so much more than a simple handbook. Rather, it is a road map of today's publishing industry writ large. Indie professional Christina Kann ventures where few editors dare to tread by exploring the various available paths to publication, from the Big Five traditional houses to online do-it-yourself platforms to the ever-evolving 'hybrid' model. Among concise explanations of what to expect from book production, printing, marketing, and distribution, this guide examines how different types of publishers approach each phase, allowing authors to determine which path is the best fit for them. Whether you're aiming for the NYT bestseller list or just want to create a special gift for your grandkids, Kann has accomplished what few publishers are willing to try: she has explained how book publishing actually works.
Autorenporträt
Christina Kann is a lifelong reader and writer with a special interest in clever science fiction and fantasy. Her greatest strengths are that her confidence is too high and she can keep talking forever, against all odds. She's obsessed with the color pink and flowers and cats and sociolinguistics and gardening. She founded the Deus Ex Media podcast network and hosts Burn Before Reading, a podcast about the cringeworthy stuff we wrote when we were kids. She lives in the beautiful city of Richmond, Virginia, with her steadfast husband, Sean, and their four cats: Penny, Dante, Pepper, and Korra.
