It is unfortunate that many books about writing simply ignore the whole process of publishing and emphasize only the creative aspect of writing. OTOH, books about publishing routinely dismiss self-publishing or if they talk about it carelessly lump self-publishers in with subsidy publishers as if there were no difference.I have a chapter called The Paths to Publishing which covers traditional publishers (and the need for a book proposal), self-publishing and "publishing providers" with a definition of POD printing and how it is used by all these parties.Most writers, including reviewers, don't have a clue about the differences.Barbara Hudgins, author, Crafting the Travel GuidebookBarbara Hudginshttp://www.woodmontpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
