How to write a book and get it published

William R. Van Dersal

Abstract

The psychology and mechanics of creating and publishing a nonfiction book involve many considerations. Among those discussed here are evaluation of the audience, outlining structure and content, establishing a writing habit, including graphic material, credits and acknowledgments, editorial help, agents and publishers, contracts, galley and page proofs, and indexing.
