    About this ebook

    How To Publish Your Book is a simple but lively guide that tells you exactly what you need to know about preparing and publishing your book, in both hard copy and the exciting new ebook format. Author Tom Graves, who has published two award-winning books through traditional publishing means as well as five well-received ebooks, tells aspiring authors precisely what they need to do to get through the gauntlet of publishers, literary agents, print-on-demand services, and ebook providers to get their book in print. With humor and warm wit, Graves also provides anecdotes and personal experiences that will help nudge authors through what is ordinarily a perilous process.
