The publishing industry is full of myths

The publishing industry is full of myths.

And most authors don’t realize they’ve been sold a dream—until it’s too late.

Is traditional publishing really worth it?

Are hybrid publishers just vanity presses in disguise?

How do you actually get an agent and a book deal?

And why do most authors fail to sell books—even after they’re published?

I sat down with my friend and Publishing matchmaker Rose Friel, founder of Foreword Literary Consulting, to cut through the noise and expose the realities of traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing.

Here’s what we covered:
The biggest lies you’ve been told about publishing

The truth about book advances (hint: they’re not what you think)

The one thing bestselling authors do that most don’t

The biggest mistakes authors make while publishing

What you MUST be doing while waiting for your book to launch

If you’re writing a book, dreaming of getting published, or building your author platform—this conversation is non-negotiable.
