Hey there!

The publishing industry is full of advice that turns out to be completely wrong. Bad assumptions get passed around in social media groups and writing conferences until they sound like facts.

Most successful professionals learn too late that an advance is actually a loan, a pretty cover can still fail to sell, and publishers do not manage your marketing.

When you make wrong assumptions about rights, distribution networks, production standards, and marketing, it has the potential to cost you thousands of dollars, derail your launch timeline, and drain your momentum.

This guide maps out 100 publishing industry facts to take the guesswork out of your process, protect your wallet, and ensure your book is published with the quality you deserve.

Kindly,
