Nearly 60 successful literary agents, 60 acquisition editors at major publishing houses, 25 bookstore owners, 50 newspaper book editors/reviewers in addition to the experts mentioned above, contributed to, or were interviewed. You find out directly from the source how to play the publishing game and win.
While reading The Publishing Primer I became reinvigorated, so excited to take action that I had to stop reading to flesh out ideas that had been lingering in my mind for months.

… this book should be a mandatory purchase for any new author who ventures out into the publishing world, naive and hoping that a guardian angel will swoop down and help them. This book IS that angel; keeping the potential bestselling author on the right track and guiding him/her along the way to a successful writing career, keeping clear of the scammers and those who would take advantage of them. Whether you've just finished your book; seeking an agent or a publisher or have already started considering your publicity tour this is a valuable resource that can't be passed up!
