The Publishing Season Part One: What is the Publishing Season?

View all this week "The Publishing Season" Articles to help you get your book published.
In previous articles, I spoke about the writing season; how to write your book, how to formulate your book and get it ready for publication. These next few articles will help you successfully publish your book.
Now that you have finished your book, ask yourself this, has it been edited yet? Whether it’s been professionally edited or edited by you or a friend, it must be edited before it can be published. It must be error free and cleaned up very good so that you can send it to a publisher. So before you read any further, go look at your manuscript and see if it needs to be edited.
Publishing a book is the business side of writing. Not all writers decide to publish. Some don't even work up the nerve to publish but for those that do decide to publish, this is a big step for you.
So what is the publishing season? It’s the publishing side of writing. It’s the stage when you have successfully completed your manuscript and you are ready to publish your book. The story has been told and this is it.
The publishing season can take a long time or a short time depending on what path you take. You can decide to go with Print On Demand, submit your book into a Traditional Publishing Company, turn your book into an e-book, self publish, through your own company and more. There’s so much you can do with your manuscript. But you must ask yourself, what do you want? How do you want to see your work? What are your goals? Once you’ve answered these questions, then you can decide on your next step.
Stay tuned for Step Two: Determining your publication path
