So, you want to publish books?No gatekeeping here!
With nearly three decades of experience operating an independent publishing company, Joe Biel has written the most accessible and comprehensive guide to running a successful publishing business-now better than ever in this updated and expanded new edition!
Featuring fresh material and even more case studies (including a parable about Colleen Hoover), this new and improved second edition of A People's Guide to Publishing (Microcosm) shares Biel's most crucial skills, tips, and tricks of the trade, revised for our shifting publishing landscape — including how taking on Microcosm's distribution quintupled the business's sales since this book was first published.
Featuring detailed charts and visuals, interviews with other upstarts on the indie publishing scene, and funny anecdotes from publishing's long and storied history, this book offers a deeper understanding of how the business operates, alongside strategic ways to build a dedicated audience and advance your mission in a changing (but change-averse) industry.
Publishing beginners, self-publishers, seasoned publishing professionals, and anyone interested in how books are made and sold will find real information relayed with wit, grit, and experience, designed to give readers the confidence to move forward with renewed purpose and share the work that only they can do. Because publishing — and publishing well — is more important than ever.
Biel will be joined in conversation by Jelani Memory, founder and CEO of A Kids Co., and Laura Stanfill, publisher of Forest Avenue Press.
