Book Doctoring Nuts & Bolts: Your Manuscript Is Ready To Go: Now How Do You Get It Ready For Publiication?

This is a handbook for writers who have completed, or are trying to complete, perhaps their first manuscript and aren't sure what steps to take next to get it published. It contains help with: frustration; writer's block; mushy middles; bad endings; descriptions; dialogue; setting up a writing group; 'cleaning up' the manuscript; agents-how to get one and what they do; editors-do you need one and what do they do; large publishing companies; small presses; independent publishing; query letters; the book proposal. Plus a number of web sites that could prove useful at each step of the process. There's a lot of white space inside the handbook so the writer can make notations to self, corrections, practice, reminders, and questions to examine further. This handbook is not meant to be a complete dictionary of the act of getting published. It is meant to be a quick and easy help to get the writer moving towards publication.
