WRITE NOW! A YOUNG WRITER’S GUIDE TO GETTING PUBLISHED is a Violet & Ruby Productions e-book.
The forward . . .
Write Now! A Young Writer’s Guide to Getting Published focuses on getting your work in print–whether it’s a book, magazine article, or commentary in a school newspaper. It also discusses hooking an agent. This guide covers self-publishing versus traditional publishing, writing a strong query letter, hooking an agent, what goes on behind the scenes at a major publishing house, and the top ten mistakes writers make that cause rejection.
It’s co-written by an author (Jessica Burkhart) with 20 published books by Simon & Schuster and Kate Angelella, a Simon & Schuster editor turned full-time writer. We’re offering you the best of both worlds—advice from an author and words of wisdom from a former editor.
This isn’t a how-to-write guide. If you’re looking for guidance about formatting your manuscript to industry standards, developing ideas, curing writer’s block and several other similar topics, another e-book addressing these topics will be coming soon from Violet & Ruby. If you enjoy the advice that Kate and I offer about publication then I hope you will consider our future e-books about writing. Even if you’ve already completed a manuscript, our upcoming “how to” guides will help you make sure your creation is as ready as possible to head out into the world.
When Kate and I talked about this e-book, our goal was to offer advice to young writers seeking publication–advice we wished we would have as young writers. We both receive many e-mails with questions on how to publish a novel and this guide gives you the steps to begin your journey.
If you’re ready, grab a snack and get comfy. Kate and I are ready to spill all of our secrets to getting published with you!
