How To Publish A Book

How does a first-time author get his or her book published? So many writers incorrectly assume that getting a book published is out of their control. Perhaps we’ve all seen too many movies where the main character–an aspiring novelist, of course–sends his or her Great American Novel to every publisher in town, only to have it repeatedly rejected. Collecting rejection slips is romantic enough in the movies, but in real life it’s a needless waste of valuable time.

When you first set out to write your book, be it a novel, memoir, history, children’s book, self-help or How To book, you started with a dream. Your sense of enterprise got you this far, and it’s that same motivated spirit that will get you across the finish line. If you want to ensure that your work is published, you have a few choices at your disposal: Self-publish, hire a vanity press, or turn to a small, high-quality publishing company like Ithaca Press.

Self-publishing is more difficult than it seems. With today’s software, just about anyone can print good-looking pages. But what about book layout, cover design, proofreading, and editing? What about the layout of your chapter headings, Dedication, Acknowledgments, Table of Contents, and so on?

At Ithaca Press, turning the material of a manuscript into the polished book is our business. Our results far surpass that of self-published works. Also, our marketing tips, licensing, press releases, and innovative web marketing are invaluable. Unlike a vanity press, Ithaca Press partners with the author to make the decisions that help him or her. See www.IthacaPress.com for more, and to request a quote.
