A Guide To Today's Changing Face of Publishing

I don't know what's changing faster--technology or ways to get published. I've been the owner of a writing/editing service for 23 years. Within the past four years, I've gone from a local business, serving a regional clientele in my home office, to a virtual business servicing clients worldwide. Since 2007, I have been editing books, after being hired as an editor by a celebrity on-line. From there, I was contracted with a publishing company as Senior Editor/Copartner. I have edited five, published books available in online bookstores. This has been an exciting year for me. My previous Who's Who listings were Who's Who in America and Who's Who of American Women. This year I am included in Who's Who in the World, so I know my influence has become global. I have clients in the UK and Ireland, as well as throughout the United States. I also got involved with a reality television show this year. I am a Production Consultant/YouTube Judge for The Write Stuff--to be aired on the CW Network--which will reward the next best-selling author with a book deal and other literary prizes. All of this exposure has given me a great deal of enjoyment, but it is also a lot of hard work.

I am hearing over and over again that new authors want to know how to go about getting published. I have the answers. I am putting together a booklet which will soon be available on my website, www.aflairforwriting.com. My comprehensive guide for the aspiring or novice writer will help them avoid pitfalls in the industry. I have worked for a publisher for over a year now, and, in that short amount of time, I have gained enough knowledge-- about this ever-changing industry--to write volumes.

You'll be hearing a lot more from me.  I want to help authors understand exactly what their options are, what is the best way to go about getting published, and what to expect. More and more individuals are making the decision to write a book, now that self-publishing makes it quick and easy. But there's a lot they don't know, and I am here to educate them. I will explain what to do and not do. I have seen too many people learn the hard way, after they have invested time and money, to later question whether they have taken the right steps. My comprehensive guide will help direct "wannabes" in the right direction and untangle the messy confusion of possibilities available today.

Wow! Great expectations, if I might say so. I am with a publishing house in Germany myself and I have published 30 books as a small press publisher before that. I say go ahead with your project. Writers out there need a guideline. Good luck with it.
