No one book can tell you how to get published. It's simply too complicated a process, with too many variables.

But a new guide comes close. "The Shortest Distance Between You and a Published Book" answers the vast majority of the aspiring writer's questions about the process of getting published. Susan Page (a successful writer herself) manages to be both realistic and hopeful in her advice, moving from the importance of setting goals to the details of royalty statements.

Page's description of the way publishing houses work is up to date and detailed, providing a window into a murky world. Both fiction and nonfiction writers will benefit from Page's guidance, though her step-by-step proposal writing chapters will prove most helpful to a nonfiction writer.

In short, if you're thinking of taking the leap toward publication, do not miss this book.
