5.0 out of 5 stars Takes Self-Publishing to a Whole New Level!, 26 Jun 2012
Somewhere in the space between the exclusive, members-only club of old-school publishers and the free-wheeling Kindle mavericks of Amazon, you will find an alternative world that few knew existed.

This often cheeky and always very British book will teach you about this novel route for aspiring writers to travel. If you've ever dreamed of creating a book that exists in the real world and that can be purchased in real bookshops by (more or less!) real people, then "Get Published" is just the ticket for you!

As the author of a popular book on creativity and the writing/publishing process called GET PUBLISHED NOW! The Step-by-Step Guide to Writing & Publishing Your First Book on Amazon Kindle, I released the trade paperback edition through CreateSpace.

But this book wonderfully shows how to take an even more hands-on approach to the publishing process.

You'll learn how to prepare your manuscript for submission, how to work with an editor, proof your book and help in the selection of paper and font for its printing--in other words, all those fantastic Old World activities that many of us are forgetting how to do in today's lightning fast digital world.

If you've ever dreamed of holding a highly quality, well-bound version of your magnum opus in your hands, then you'll discover exactly how to do that in this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST Read!, 26 Jun 2012
A quick, informative read. Toby Neal especially offers a great deal of insight into launching your book by using a Free Promotion...with the ultimate goal of building enough momentum on the other side to catapult it into the exclusive reaches of the Kindle 100 Top Paid list!

You'll learn how to price and promote your work, as well as how to begin building a following of rabid fans who are eagerly awaiting your next book.

As the author of another popular book on creativity and the writing/publishing process, GET PUBLISHED NOW! The Step-by-Step Guide to Writing & Publishing Your First Book on Amazon Kindle, I always remain open to learning from my fellow writers and publicly praising their work when I enjoy it, as I did here.

You'll find lots of great tips and strategies in this easy-to-read book! I used several of Toby Neal's tips to propel my first book, The Low Carb Revolution: Why the Secret to Losing Weight is to Fall Back in Love With Yourself!, to Bestseller status in both the Weight Loss and Self-Esteem categories!
