How To Publish Your Book – a webinar presented by Bonnie Cehovet

Bonnie Cehovet is an accomplished author. Her latest book is Tarot, Birth Cards, and You. She is current running a series of webinars for aspiring authors, to further their writing creativity, and given then advice on how to find a publisher for their work. This webinar was a follow-up to her previous one on creative writing.

If you enjoy writing, the webinars presented by Bonnie are a must to attend. I have just finished participating in the webinar on how to publish your book. Bonnie tells you the pros and cons of the process of getting your work published, from the initial writing, to the end result of being published. She covers the need for networking contacts, the publishing houses, to have or not have an agent to negotiate your contract, and to understand contract law.

She stresses that you know your strengths and your audience, and be open and willing to work with an editor. The main theme, of course, is to write—and keep writing. Send your work out there, but be prepared for disappointments. It takes time to find the right person to read your work and want to publish it. Be willing to put all the time and hard work into finding that right person.

If you have any desire to publish your work, or even to just improve it, be sure to catch one of Bonnie’s webinars. The information and advice you will gain will be a valuable tool to build on.
