The next step is to a find a publisher or an agent who will grant you a handsome advance. Once published, go on a self-promoting trip around states and purchase the yacht last seen within magazine covers.

It sounds like a cakewalk, but then there has to be a marketable subject. One area that does not require selling expertise is a computer book. The subject matter does the work for you, and if you happen to be an authority on the topic, then packaging is the foundation for inducements from publishers. Unlike fiction or other genres, computer book authors do not need the services of an agent, thus saving on agent commission and extra expenses. A word of caution, even if you are a new entrant in this field and still believe that whatever you are writing is of utmost importance, work on convincing publishers. The majority of publishers prefer technical writing experts; these books save time and unnecessary sales gimmicks, as technical books are generally limited area editions. The author’s reputation sells the book; so if publisher is well known and there are no agents in between, then book will benefit both the author and the publisher.
