PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Are you aspiring to become a writer, but don\'t know what it entails, how to approach it, or even where to begin? In compelling-yet-simple terms, this one-of-a-kind book offers the guidance you need to do all that and more. Following the successful and increasingly popular concept of D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself), \"$30 Writing School\" is designed to get you up and running on the process for organizing, writing, selling and promoting your own books. You\'ll find it pleasantly easy to relate to author Michael W. Dean, who is a product of the \"indie\" revolution as a proven author, filmmaker, and musician himself. His unique style offers an edgier approach that you don\'t find in your typical \"how to write\" book. Written in a conversational tone, techniques and explanations are liberally spliced with Dean\'s personal accounts and stories. You\'ll learn specific elements of how to get published including how to write a proposal, get an agent, get a publisher, and work through mainstream outlets. From the author\'s perspective of having done it himself, self-publishing is explained and encouraged, from Quark layout, to working with a printer, to getting press and distribution. \"$30 Writing School\" accompanies two successful others of its kind, \"$30 Music School\" (1-59200-067-3) and \"$30 Film School\" (1-59200-171-8), both published by Course Technology PTR. This incomparable do-it-yourself approach to becoming a writer is realistic, straightforward, and inspiring.
