In the last episode I talked about when you should start reaching out to scholarly presses and setting up meetings with acquiring editors to talk about your book project. 

The moral of the story is that there is no one-size-fits-all model to getting your book published. As I’ll tell you about later in this episode, even my own two books had vastly different journeys to publication. 

Therefore, today’s episode builds on the last one, by answering another set of pressing questions that first-time authors often have: 

How do you determine the best press for your manuscript? And, once you decide that you are ready to contact editors, how do you actually do it? 

For step-by-step support for your writing projects apply for Leslie's Your Words Unleashed Six-Month Program.
