Publishing Options/Poetry Contest

Writer’s Thought for the Week:  I just don’t wait for ideas. I look for them. Constantly. And if I don’t use the ideas that I find, they’re going to quit showing up. ~ Peg Bracken

PATHS TO PUBLISHING

This handy chart from Jane Friedman summarizes five key book publishing paths in an easy to compare format. Don’t miss the link to Friedman’s interview with hybrid author CJ Lyons. Lyons publishes some of her titles traditionally and self-publishes others, but her agent helps with both. For self-published books, her agent negotiates and earns money from foreign rights, TV/film, audio, and other sub-rights.
