  • Very useful information and just what I needed. I just submitted my manuscript for my first book. Here goes...
  • Hello Keith... Your description of publishing both in the writing and in the search for support was very clear and easily understood. My first story was published with Trafford in 2008 and I learned much just going through the process. I feel that the experience was somewhere between DYI and some support. That story is CARGO OF HATE. I received a very good review from WRITERS DIGEST and locally from the boating-community. The story I am working on now is, I would venture to say, a historical novel. I served for nearly two years in France in the VERDUN area in the middle 50's. The veterans of that most terrible battle were still alive and in their sixties. The title is NATIONAL FLOWERS and concerns the lives of the soldiers of a fictional Company of French infantry. Writing the first novel prepared me for this second novel. I have been through much of what you were discussing and welcomed hearing someone talking about the concerns I was having with the inital story. Support is essential to authors. Best, Kermit R. Mercer
  • Very informative and very frightening.
  • Thanks Keith.This presentation is quite technical and useful for my new book ''Divine Revelation and Open Doors'' and other books to be published in future. I will recommend this ''6 Tips on How to Get Published'' to my friends if you do not mind because it covers all.
  • This is a very clear and concise article, Keith. Thank you for the pointers. My book is in the editorial process, and you have motivated me to go back to my marketing plan and put flesh on those bones!
