On any day, the top publishers receive more than 200 unsolicited manuscripts and book ideas. All of them without exception are sent to the shredding machine or discarded in the nearest bin. More often than not, not a single one of these manuscripts even reach the desk of a Junior editor, let alone catch the attention of the senior editorial staff. Some of these could have become best-sellers if the book idea had been executed a bit differently, and if the right approach was used to share it with the right publishers.
These days a lot of writers decide to self-publish their book. However self-publishing (or vanity publishing as it is called) destroys the credibility of the author and the only person gaining out of the transaction is the self-publishing house. Writers spend hundreds of thousands of rupees to see their book in print, but that doesn’t result in sales. After that, they need to spend a fortune to have it distributed. Even then, the results are unsatisfactory.
In this course, years of experience and insights have been condensed into 3 hours of invaluable hacks that will help you not just to write your masterpiece, but also show you how you can capture the attention of the top publishers in your market.
