How to Get Published

Everyone has a book in them, they say. Having gone through the process of extracting a masterpiece from your head what happens next? In most cases the book will end up in a desk drawer as a pile of papers or inside a computer. But that’s not what you want, is it? You wrote it to get published. You want to see your name in print, to go into bookshops and see your book on the shelves. You want to feel that moment of pride when you see someone on the bus reading your book.

The concept that a good book will always find a publisher is outdated and over-simplistic. The truth is that most writers remain unpublished because they pay attention only to the quality of their writing. Publishers are business people. Their job is to make money from selling books. They know that high quality writing alone isn’t always enough to make a profitable book, so when choosing which manuscripts to sign up for publication they think about many more elements than just the words on the page.

How to Get Published reveals for the first time the inside secrets and provides tactics that any writer can use to create the perfect conditions for their own ‘lucky break’ to happen.

Writing away from home?

Ever wish you could continue writing when you're away from your home or office computer?

One solution is to copy your files onto your laptop. But things can get messy when you transfer frequently from one computer to another: are you sure you're working on the most recent version?

You can get around this by using a remote access program. This lets you control your main computer from anywhere in the world. As long as your office or home PC has a broadband connection and is left switched on you can dial into it from a laptop or Internet cafe in another town or even another country. I do it all the time: I hook up to my main desktop computer in England from Internet cafes in New York and I can access all my files, operate all my software and access my e-mail. The software I use to do this is called GoToMyPC They have a free trial which shows how amazing the concept is.

So now when you're on holiday or on a business trip there's one less excuse for failing to hit your daily word target.
