This month's featured title:

THE INSIDERS GUIDE TO GETTING YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED

So you’ve got an idea for a book. A brilliant idea. Maybe you’ve written part or all of it already. Whether it’s a concept or a completed manuscript, you’re probably burning with the desire to get it published. But which publisher should you approach? Do you need an agent? What do you send? What makes a proposal irresistible? And how do you convince a publisher to offer you that elusive publishing contract?

This is the book to answer to all these questions – and many more. It will reveal:

how publishers operate and what influences them
how to choose a publisher or agent
how to make you and your book instantly more appealing
how to create a brilliant submission
how to negotiate a good deal

Rachael Stock has combined her own extensive commissioning experience with insights from other editors, agents and authors to deliver a wealth of vital insider know-how that will give you the best possible chance of getting your book into print and onto the shelves.

Rachael Stock has made decisions about what gets published and what doesn’t for over 10 years. She landed her first commissioning role at the early age of 24 and has worked for three major publishing houses, commissioning in a broad range of subjects including health, lifestyle, popular psychology, personal development, sport, business and careers. Though she is now both gamekeeper and poacher, Rachael previously resisted the urge to write a book, always suspecting it was easier to scribble all over other people’s. She now knows it is.

This is a fantastic book - essential reading for anyone embarking on the road to searching for a publisher - it's well researched and well-written, easy to read and contains everything you need to know. First class stuff from someone in the know.
