Summary: The Book Bible is a practical manual for any writer (beginner or experienced) who wants to get published — regardless of genre. Instead of focusing on just one form (novel, memoir, self-help, etc.), the book surveys a wide variety of genres: fiction (adult, genre fiction), nonfiction (memoir, biography, self-help), poetry, and children’s books (picture books, middle-grade, YA). It is meant as a map: to help authors understand which genre fits their project, how to approach writing it, and — crucially — how to sell it: how to write proposals or query agents, how to target the right audience, and what editors expect. A guide for aspiring writers on all aspects of getting published.
