Objective: There is a plethora of decisions to be made when considering book publishing. The Internet is replete with sites discussing the myriad of publishing scams that are sucking the joy and talent out of getting a book published. These publishers are living off the drive for writers to see their work in print.
Equally, America has a long history of reputable publishers, who move writers to the respected status of author. People get their works published everyday by the large publishing houses and honest independent publishing companies. We are determined to give our literary community guidance to make the most appropriate decisions about the publishing process. We do this most effectively through education.
