A Message from the Author
My mission in writing Perfect Bound, as it has been throughout my career, is to help aspiring authors achieve their dream of publication. Armed with the knowledge contained in this book, authors will be more confident in their approach to book publishing in general and the book production process in particular. Further, they will save time and money when they avoid the common pitfalls every author faces.
Given an inside look at publishing through the eyes of an experienced editor, authors will have an edge on the competition, helping to ensure their success in the publishing world. My goal is to assist as many authors as I can to reach that point.
