What I wish I knew before I published that I know now

What I wish I knew before I published that I know now
By Joshua Graham


Prior to my contract with Howard Books (an imprint of Simon & Schuster), I had always believed that I could be in control of all aspects of my career. On the surface, one could argue that I did all the right things, worked my tail off, and applied my knowledge of the craft and business, and those all led to my getting published with one of the Big 6.
Indeed, without work nothing will happen, because books don’t get themselves published, nor do they sell themselves.
