Honing Your Publishing Survival Skills with Publishing Expert Antoinette Kuritz

Who’s on first!  What’s on Second! I don’t know is on third.

Perhaps the best written and remembered comedic skit of all time, performed by the greats Bud Abbot and Lou Costello, this is a great description to the confusion, misinformation and outright fraud that is now part and parcel of the newly democratized world of publishing.

Now that you've joined the 80% of Americans who think they have a book in them, you had better learn the game before you get up to bat!

Continuing with the baseball metaphor:  Self-Publishing and the internet certainly opened the gate for you to get onto the field, but the tenfold increase in published books has also helped the crooks, so the publishing game just got bigger—not easier!
