"Any number of books explain "how to write a book," but getting a book published is the hard part. Aside from talent, writers need a strategy for distinguishing their efforts from countless others.

In Getting Published, Brown offers a straightforward approach to test-marketing book ideas, creating strong proposals, reaching the right editors and agent, and more.
