Read our "Complete Guide on How to Become an Author, Write Books, and Get Published" to gain the knowledge you need to be successful! Writing is a skill set, and write well, get published, and become successful at it like any other career, you will need to have the proper knowledge, training, and practice to do well in it. It is amazing how many aspiring writers there are out there who do not even understand the difference in roles between a literary agent and a publisher, or even how they are paid as authors! They obsess with their book and how much potential it has without giving some thought on how the whole book selling industry works. That's the same as an artist completing his masterpiece and then hanging it up on his wall and wondering what to do with it or waiting for it to be miraculously discovered by the rest of the world. Success doesn't come easy for most writers. It is achieved through hard work and determination. Being talented isn't enough most of the time! Spend some time to read through this guide we have painstakingly put together to help you become a successful writer! Do you believe in your own work enough to try? John Grisham was rejected by many publishers before Wynwood Press finally bought his first novel, printing a miserable 5000 copies for his book's first print run. In his subsequent writing career he became one of only two authors to sell two million copies on a first printing. More than 60 million copies of his books have been sold. Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" sold 800 copies before his publisher decided to return the rights to him and discontinue circulation. He didn't give up and looked for a bigger publishing house with more marketing power. "The Alchemist" has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and has been translated into some 41 languages. Christopher Paolini, who was entirely home schooled, wrote "Eragon" at the age of 16 and never intended to publish it. His parents invested their savings to self-publish it and arranged for 135 talks at bookshops, libraries and schools before his novel was discovered and bought for a 6-figure sum by a major publisher. It became a bestseller and was adapted into a Hollywood movie. Renaissance Publishing is a genuine independent publisher that identifies talented authors, work with them to publish their work, and pay them royalties or fees. We do not make money encouraging aspiring authors to self-publish with us, pay reading fees, engage us for "writer services" or any other such non-genuine activities. We try our best to ensure that all links and recommended resources in this Guide are not dodgy either. Let us know if you find any of them questionable! Share this resource with fellow writers.
