The fact is, most books that offer advice to writers
are daunting tomes filled with advice and procedures that ultimately
intimidate many writers. Sales statistics for smaller, more easily
digestible reference guides support the notion that writers may
not be in the mood to read when it
comes to supporting their craft. They're looking for a quick answer,
a nugget of advice, a publishing gem. In that regard,
Publishing
Gems is designed and written to be a quick "checklist"
of tips and hints. With over-sized headlines and large type,
Publishing
Gems will appeal to the older demographic, where there
are a majority of writers looking to leave their legacy. Step-by-step
instructions are meant for the novice, yet informative enough
for the professional when covering cutting-edge concepts like
non-traditional promotion and pay-per-click advertising. For beginning
writers looking to get their feet wet and receive a wealth of
advice, the appealing cover and retail price will attract them
to purchase.
