Polish Like a Pro: Preparing a Manuscript for Publication - Hardcover
Description
by Lara Helmling (Author)
Professional books don't happen by accident. They are polished that way.
Traditional publishers have spent decades developing editorial standards, production conventions, and quality-control processes most independent authors never see. Polish Like a Pro brings those professional practices into the open.
This book begins where most writing advice ends: with a completed manuscript that still needs to become publication-ready.
Learn how to refine prose, eliminate inconsistencies, standardize style, resolve editorial details, and prepare your manuscript for formatting, proofreading, and publication.
Polish Like a Pro gives you the standards and practical guidance to prepare your book with greater confidence and professionalism.
Because "finished writing" and "ready to publish" are not the same thing.
