The art of building professional publishing relationships

If you're thinking about becoming an author, I want to share with you a lesson I learned the hard way: the importance of finding a good team of publishing professionals to help you produce your book.

 
When I first wrote my short story, "When Love Strikes," I was really excited to get it into the hands of readers and didn't do much research into the service provider I chose to help me publish it nor did I have the knowledge about marketing and sales. Big mistake.

The book went out into the world with grave grammatical errors and it wasn't edited to publishing standards. I was livid, and I told the service provider that I would take matters into my own hands and publish it myself since they refused to make corrections citing the amount I had paid them at the time.

 
So I did DIY and I learned a lot in the process.

 
Now, I've developed a good rapport with editors, designers, web developers, printers, people in media and other publishing professionals, because I've learned that producing a book takes a community. It's not one person's job.

 
If you're thinking about becoming an author, connect with purposeful service providers who can help you get your book into the hands of the right people. Don't make the same mistakes I did. I’ve put together a chapter in my book, Awakening the Power of Self Publishing: the ultimate Guide on how you can successfully create purposeful relationships. The most important relationships for authors are between them and their publishers. A second important relationship is with an editor. Other important relationships are with bookstores and printers. These services are key to your book's success.
