Summary: This 94-page guide will help you to better understand the process of writing a book, getting it published, and coming up with strategies to promote your book once it's done. Whether you go the traditional route or self-publish (or somewhere in between), you must be willing, able and available to promote the book -- sometimes in a very short time frame.

For many people the thought of writing a book can seem overwhelming. In fact, people who have never written a book think it takes a lot longer than it actually can and often does take. Some writers spend years laboring over every word in their book and therefore, a project that could take one to two years to complete takes several. And others find a way to get their book onto paper in months, weeks and even days!

That's why GET IT WRITE! was created. To help you to better understand the process of writing a book, getting it published and coming up with strategies to promote your book once it's done. Once the book is published, the real work begins. Whether you go the traditional route or self-publish (or somewhere in between), you must be willing, able and available to promote the book -- sometimes in a very short time frame.

The real question is not whether you will get your book written. If you have the drive, determination and commitment to the project, your book will get done. The real question is will anybody buy it -- or read it? This 94-page ebook is filled with ideas and strategies to write, publish and promote your book.

Part One of GET IT WRITE! takes you through the process of writing, including finding time to write, overcoming writer's block, generating ideas for your writing projects, copywriting musts, whether or not to work with a co-author, and more.

Part Two of GET IT WRITE! covers how to find out if there's a market for your book idea, finding a literary agent for the traditional published author, how to approach agents and publishers, and compares the various publishing options available today and the new face of publishing

Part Three gives solid ideas to promote and sell your book beginning with creating your virtual media kit, doing book signings, selling outside the bookstores, Internet marketing strategies for your book, participating in virtual book tours and at least 27 other ideas to sell your books.

Part Four is filled with resources for the new and seasoned author suggested by our contributing authors and the guest experts who spoke during the Women's Writing & Publishing Summit.. These include websites for authors, online forums, books, ecourses, books, organizations and more.
