Episode description and notes

Terry Whalin Dedicated to the Craft of Writing I've been in book publishing for decades and worked with hundreds of authors. Many of these authors have unrealistic expectations about what will happen when their book is published. Also much of the publishing process is outside of anything an author can control. I wrote 10 Publishing Myths to give authors realistic expectations and encouragement to take practical action steps to make their book a success.
