Publishing Secrets

(Re)Introducing the Book Publishing A to Z Series!

Episode Summary

What is a query letter? How about an ISBN? What exactly are keywords in the context of publishing a book? Is an advance a good thing or a bad thing? If you’re like many new authors, you may understand the basic tenets of writing a book, but still feel completely in the dark when you hear jargon related to book publishing. If that’s you, you’re not alone! And here’s the good news: you don’t have to struggle to figure it all out on your own. In this series, Coach Tam will set you on the fast track to learning the ins and outs of writing and publishing a book, from A to Z. Don’t miss the re-airing of this value-packed series starting next week!

Episode Notes

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

• A few book publishing terms you may — or may not — be familiar with yet
• A sneak peek at what you can expect to learn in the Book Publishing A to Z series
• And more!

Ready to dive into the jargon of book publishing? Here are some of the terms we’ll be learning in the Book Publishing A to Z series:

• What exactly do the letters “ARC” stand for? And why do you need to make sure you have ARCs distributed to as many power players as possible — before your book officially launches? 
• What exactly is a blurb? And how can this short but impactful statement determine whether your book is a hit or a flop? 
• What is a copy editor? And why do you absolutely, positively need to hire one instead of relying on family and friends (yes, even the ones that are especially good at English)?
• What exactly are beta readers? And how do you find them if you don’t already have them in your circle? 

You’ll learn all of that and more over the next several weeks. We're taking you from A to Z, so you’ll finally have all the insight you need to write and publish a bestseller. 

It's time to get it done in a way that honors God and positions you to make an impact and earn an income!
