Your personal journey to publication.

Do you know the difference between an independent publisher and a self publisher? Have you written a book but don't know what your options are? Are you baffled by how the publishing industry has transformed in the last twenty years? How does crowdfunding fit in? If you have pondered these questions, then this is the book for you!

Join multi-genre author, creative writing tutor, editor and mentor Karl Drinkwater for an informal overview of book publishing. He explains the concepts and processes involved, and lays out the pros and cons of all your options. By the end of it you'll be in a position of knowledge about the process of turning an idea into an item you can hold in your hands.

This book will be useful to anyone with a part-finished manuscript who wonders: what on earth am I going to do with this labour of love? It is aimed at new authors, yet packs in enough information and tips that even experienced writers should learn something new.

Note: this work is 100% human-created, crafted with love by the author. No generative AI has been used in the writing or editing.
