"For AuthorsSo, you've been offered a book contract, or are considering going down the traditional publishing route. Congratulations! It's a bit of minefield, but this book will help you navigate the traditional publishing landscape, with chapters on:

The stages of acquisition

(how the book-commissioning process works)

The departments that will work on your book

(including Legal, Editorial, Sales, Marketing & Publicity)

Sub-rights

(what they are, and how they benefit you)

How advances work

(hint: it's simple from a distance, but there's more than you think)

An A-Z of Publishing Terms

(around 130 of them!)

and much more!

Writing books is your craft, but publishing them is your business. This essential guide will teach you how the rest of the business works, so you can have full knowledge of, and control over your career.

For Publishing ProfessionalsIf you're near the start of your career, this book should prove invaluable. I wish this had been available when I started to work in publishing.

If you're a seasoned professional you might get less from this, as you've already lived the dream, but it's a great book to show to your team and your assistants to say, ""Read this. Come back to me with any questions."""

Harrington Leigh is a typical New York fiction editor, now living in the UK. Over the last couple decades he's worked with publishers of all sizes, from micro-presses to the Big 5. He's worked on numerous New York Times and USA Today bestsellers, and has seen one of his books turned into a high profile TV series, which he was very excited about. He's even come that close to winning an award.He really, really wishes this book had been available when he started out working in publishing.
