You have an idea. A great idea. Now what? Whether you dream of having your name on the cover of a successful book (and 81% of Americans believe they have a book in them), or you're a seasoned yet frustrated veteran of the publishing jungle, this nuts-and-bolts guide demystifies every aspect of the publishing process. Husband-and-wife team Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, who developed the enormously popular Putting Your Passion into Print seminar at Stanford University, are known to their students as "the Click and Clack of publishing." Whether the thought is large (how does one deal with rejection) or small (why is it that a "special pen" works such magic), they cover all the bases. How to: Choose a top-of-the-heap idea;Come up with a blockbuster title; Craft an attention-getting pitch; Create a selling proposal; Find the right agent, publisher and editor; Understand a book contract and royalty statements; Enhance presentation skills; Develop sales, marketing, and publicity savvy; and, if necessary, self-publish (as did Irma Rombauer for The Joy of Cooking and James Redfield for The Celestine Prophesy). No matter if you're a literary fiction writer, a romance novelist, an academic looking to reach a popular audience, or a memoirist wanting to publish your life story, Putting Your Passion to Printshares a wealth of experience and insight from people who've been there and done that. Includes interviews with hundreds of publishing insiders--agents, editors, authors, and booksellers; side boxes featuring real-life publishing success stories; sample proposals, query letters, a resource guide, and more.… (mer)

Putting Your Passion into Print by Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry is a book about writing your book. YOUR book; not the one you think you should write, not the one your friend thinks you should write…the one about what YOU are passionate about. It’s a kitchen sink sort of book in that it covers everything…from the dragging that initial spark of the idea from the back of your mind into the bright light of day to the finished product. The authors of the book are both published authors (of books other than this one!). Ms Eckstut is also a literary agent, and Mr. Sterry is an actor. They are also a married couple. I especially liked a short section about setting up a website for yourself as an author and for your book, and the top ten reasons to do so (reason #10: “You’d be stupid not to.”). here's the link to their website: http://www.puttingyourpassionintoprint.com/

some books I’ve read about writing are…well, they are boring. Dry. This book is witty and at times, very funny. It is a great reference for someone that wants to be led by the hand through queries, pitches, book promotion…everything. ( )
