the market, promising to help authors prepare hot-selling
manuscripts and make a lot of money. Unfortunately, most of
these books make promises they cannot keep.

project off to an online publishing facilitator. More than just
a “how-to” book, however, this is a “whether-or-not-to” book,
presenting an honest, no-nonsense look at the punishing world of
self-publishing, with all of its costs, stresses, and hurdles.
