I'm new to publishing; where do I begin?

If you're a first-time author, we suggest you read The Candy Publishing Interactive Q & A Guide. Many publishers prey on aspiring authors because they are new to the publishing world and excited about getting their book published. New authors have a limited knowledge or absolutely no idea what to expect.  Before you choose a publisher and spend thousands of dollars, invest $10.50 and purchase the Q & A guide to educate yourself on the process. It's our Candy Publishing Workshop in print!
