How to Get Published
Two days ago I mentioned that Mary DeMuth was launching another novel, this time set in Rockwall, Texas. The woman is a writing machine!
And Mary has never ever been stingy with her knowledge. The latest example of this: Now she's sharing The 11 Secrets of Getting Published in an eBook that costs a grand total of $2.99. In it she's compiled her best tips on getting published along with plenty of anecdotes. 11 Secrets is a 60,000-word book, not just a long article. Its paper equivalent would run more than 200 pages.
In it Mary includes how to:
◦Develop discipline.
◦Weather rejection.
◦Woo an agent with a great query letter and/or proposal.
◦Understand the publishing business.
◦Perfect your writing craft.
At the end she throws in three bonus sections:
◦I’d be published, but . . . where writers share their excuses for not publishing. She gently admonishes them to overcome their fears and move forward.
◦A quick publishing tip guide.
◦The story of Mary's path to publication.
