WRITING A BOOK
EDITING AND DESIGNING A BOOK
“So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.” ~Dr. Seuss
Editing your own work can be painful and intimidating. Designing the layout and images can also be challenging. Media City Publishers’ editing and design resources can help you make the best decisions for your book.
PUBLISHING A BOOK
“I finished my first book seventy-six years ago. I offered it to every publisher on the English-speaking earth I had ever heard of. Their refusals were unanimous: and it did not get into print until, fifty years later; publishers would publish anything that had my name on it.” ~George Bernard Shaw
“I enjoy self-publishing & sending publishers rejection letters. They’re like, ‘Who is this guy?’ And I’m like, ‘the end of your industry.” ~Ryan Lilly
As with Shaw, publishers don’t always see the value of your book. That is why you must believe in yourself regardless. Publishing a book can be an arduous process. Fortunately, the professionals at Media City Publishers can help make that process as smooth as possible for you. However, there are some publishing basics that every author should know.
MARKETING A BOOK
“People can’t read a book if they don’t know it exists. All authors need to do marketing, regardless of how they published.” ~Jo Linsdell
Marketing your book can seem overwhelming, but it is vital to selling your book. Learn the basics of book marketing and get tips on the tools you’ll need to introduce your book to more readers.
