As the saying goes, everyone has a book in them. Many have even written one in whole or in part. Most have given up as the publishing process proved either too daunting, or they were flatly rejected by either a literary agency or a publisher. And then there are all those who wrote just for the pleasure of it – a family history, a memoir or biography, a personal poetry collection, or a cookbook for distribution to friends and family for Christmas. All of these deserve to be published.
One small caveat might be in order here already. Every book also deserves to be edited. To what extent this is done depends, of course, on whether the book is intended to be the next block-buster, best-selling work of literary fiction, or if it is indeed just something to amuse or bemuse friends and family.

  • Have you written a novel, short story of poetry collection?
  • Are you an instructor or specialist and have been asked about further reading?
  • Have you been turned down or disappointed by traditional publishers?
