Publication is an act of power. It brings a piece of writing to the public and identifies its author as a person with an intellect and a voice that matters. Because nineteenth-century Black Americans knew that publication could empower them, and because they faced numerous challenges getting their writing into print or the literary market, many published their own books and pamphlets in order to garner social, political, or economic rewards. In doing so, these authors nurtured a tradition of creativity and critique that has remained largely hidden from view. Bryan Sinche surveys the hidden history of African American self-publication and offers new ways to understand the significance of publication as a creative, reformist, and remunerative project. Full of surprising turns, Sinche's study is not simply a look at genre or a movement; it is a fundamental reassessment of how print culture allowed Black ideas and stories to be disseminated to a wider reading public and enabled authors to retain financial and editorial control over their own narratives.

The Story Behind THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE If you've read his books THE WAR OF ART and TURNING PRO, you know that for thirty years Steven Pressfield (GATES OF FIRE, THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN etc.) wrote spec novel after spec novel before any publisher took him seriously. How did he finally break through? Ignoring just about every rule of commercial book publishing, Pressfield's "first" novel not only became a major bestseller (over 250,000 copies sold), it was adapted into a feature film directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. Where did he get the idea? What magical something did THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE have that his previous manuscripts lacked? Why did Pressfield decide to write a novel when he already had a well established screenwriting career? How does writing a publishable novel really work? Taking a page from John Steinbeck's classic JOURNAL OF A NOVEL, Steven Pressfield offers answers for these and scores of other practical writing questions in THE AUTHENTIC SWING.

How to transform a thesis into a publishable work that can engage audiences beyond the academic committee. When a dissertation crosses my desk, I usually want to grab it by its metaphorical lapels and give it a good shake. “You know something!” I would say if it could hear me. “Now tell it to us in language we can understand!” Since its publication in 2005, From Dissertation to Book has helped thousands of young academic authors get their books beyond the thesis committee and into the hands of interested publishers and general readers. Now revised and updated to reflect the evolution of scholarly publishing, this edition includes a new chapter arguing that the future of academic writing is in the hands of young scholars who must create work that meets the broader expectations of readers rather than the narrow requirements of academic committees. At the heart of From Dissertation to Book is the idea that revising the dissertation is fundamentally a process of shifting its focus from the concerns of a narrow audience—a committee or advisors—to those of a broader scholarly audience that wants writing to be both informative and engaging. William Germano offers clear guidance on how to do this, with advice on such topics as rethinking the table of contents, taming runaway footnotes, shaping chapter length, and confronting the limitations of jargon, alongside helpful timetables for light or heavy revision. Germano draws on his years of experience in both academia and publishing to show writers how to turn a dissertation into a book that an audience will actually enjoy, whether reading on a page or a screen. He also acknowledges that not all dissertations can or even should become books and explores other, often overlooked, options, such as turning them into journal articles or chapters in an edited work. With clear directions, engaging examples, and an eye for the idiosyncrasies of academic writing, he reveals to recent PhDs the secrets of careful and thoughtful revision—a skill that will be truly invaluable as they add “author” to their curriculum vitae.

This book is packed with practical advice, specific examples, and tons of free resources to help you become a published author. You will learn: - What makes a marketable book concept, why yours probably isn't (yet), and how to fix it - The two-step formula that I & other traditionally published authors used to adapt a book concept to the market, and how to apply this strategy to your book (w/links to a free video training) - I walk you through building a book proposal (with examples), plus a few tricks to REALLY make your pitch stand out - How to construct a query letter, line-by-line - Specifically where to find the perfect agent for your book, and how to see when agents are reading your email so you'll know when to follow up - Tons of other little tips & secrets to help you land a literary agent and get a publishing deal I remember how frustrating it was when I was trying to figure out how to get an agent to pay attention to me. I just wanted someone to give me a chance. There were lots of blogs and other books offering advice—mostly what not to do—but nobody could explain why my book wasn’t getting picked up. And they definitely weren’t explaining what I could to do to fix it. It was as if everyone who’d crossed to the other side and become a published author, then burned the bridge behind them and said “good luck to the rest of you.” It was a rough, lonely, and expensive road to getting my book published. And I don’t want you to have to go through the same thing. That's why this book is free. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that the process of getting traditionally published was about the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. Upon getting published, my book was in every major bookstore in the U.S., as well as Canada, the U.K., and Australia. I was booked on national television and appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers—everything from Good Morning America, The Doctors, and Business Insider, to The New York Post, Fox News, and Vice. And I was giving countless interviews for conventional radio shows, Siruis XM, and podcasts. And I wrote this book to help you achieve the same. My goal with this book is to provide as much value as I can, show you all the steps, answer any questions, provide tons of free resources, and hopefully overdeliver in every way possible, so that your book will attract an agent, and help you become a traditionally published author. See you on the inside! — Jeff Scot Philips

"Newbie Author" offers a unique perspective on the publishing world. Delve into the candid pages of this personal journal, chronicling the triumphs and trials of a self-publishing odyssey. Writing a story is just a part of being an author. There's much more to it. After self-publishing my first book, I documented my experiences during the first year and revisited them a decade later (2023) The resulting book is a collection of chapters that detail my personal journey from my rookie year to now. It's not a guidebook, but rather a personal account of successes, failures, and obstacles as I pursued the independent publishing path. The chapters are structured as a "then and now" narrative, covering my experiences from the early days to the present.
