Who Needs This Book?

Beginners For those who have no experience with publishing, this is a good place to start. Resources for writing, revising, and more.

This is the notes from a session I did at the 2009 Arkansas Library Association Conference, "I Wrote a Book. Now What? Answers for Your Library Patrons with This Question."

It's an idiosyncratic look at the publishing process and the recommendations are based on my experiences. Included are a discussion of the pros and cons of self-publishing, resources on writing and revising, how to get an agent, how to submit to a publisher, and a resource for kids who want to be published.
