One purpose for this blog is to spread the word about the excellent resources available online for anyone hoping to write and publish a book. Here are two blogs I’ve come across recently that I think you’ll find extraordinarily helpful, whether you are pulling together a business book or writing the next Great American Novel.
Literary agent Nathan Bransford, with the San Francisco office of Curtis Brown Ltd., offers an entertaining, terrifically informative blog about the ins and outs of query letters, finding an agent, and negotiating the process of getting published. He also keeps his readers up to date on publishing industry news and trends, and encourages lively discussions via the comments. Check it out at: http://blog.nathanbransford.com/.
Over at “The Book Deal: An Inside View of Publishing,” consulting editor Alan Rinzler offers his own information-packed take on writing and publishing books, covering topics like the changes in the publishing industry, how to build your author platform, and a whole lot more.
