The Road From Completed Book Manuscript to Publication

Books published by New York publishing houses tend to garner a higher degree of respect than those published outside of the Big Apple. Authors with New York books often find it easier to get media attention than those using other methods, such as small presses or print-on-demand publishers.

Unfortunately, the road from completed book manuscript to publication through traditional channels is a long one with numerous challenges. A first-time author must first create a formal book proposal which will take weeks of work. Next, the writer goes through the process of submitting it to publishers and/or agents.

Agent and Author Terry Burns interviewed over 600 multi-published authors and found

that it took them an average of 6 years to see their first completed book in print. He also learned that 87 per cent of the authors he interviewed got their first book published before an agent accepted them as a client.

Getting an agent requires an audition process as well. An author must pitch the agent,

show them their book proposal before the agent determines whether or not she can sell the book to a publisher. Thus retaining an agent is no guarantee that the book will be published by a New York house.

When signing a book contract with a traditional New York Publisher, the author loses control of the book's content and cover design, as well as the rights to the book. The author typically earns less than 10 per cent of the sale, which translates to less than one dollar per book sold. If the author hires an agent, the profit margin is less, because the agent’s fee is 10 (and sometimes 15) per cent of the author’s share of the profit.

Dr. Larry Smith, an Ironman triathlete and chiropractor, not only turned his personal tragedy into triumph, but discovered how to dominate his niche because of the doors that open to authors. He invested in a complete authoring and business development system with guaranteed acceptance by a book-in-bookstores New York Publisher, the Morgan James Publishing.

Dr. Smith’s inspiring book Embrace the Journey of Recovery and his passionate presentations have given hope to thousands of people recovering from addiction. It was by following the Entrepreneurial Authoring principles that Dr. Smith was able to find his true voice and share his astonishing story of recovery. Today Dr. Larry is one of the most recognized leaders in Chiropractic without a PhD because he is a published author.
