Special Giveaway + Review of Mark Montano’s Latest Book

October 29, 2013 by CreativeIncome

How to Write and Publish a Best Selling Craft BookIf you’ve ever thought of creating a craft book but stopped because you didn’t know how on earth it would ever get published, today’s your lucky day. Mark Montano’s new book, How to Write and Publish a Bestselling Craft Book, is, as the title states, a step-by-step guide to writing, publishing, and promoting a craft book. His firsthand advice is based from his success. Montano has published 11 DIY books, including the #1 bestselling craft book in America, The Big-Ass Book of Crafts. Now he’s lifting the lid on his creative process with this new book, devoted entirely to helping you write and publish a craft book of your own.

With a concise and to the point writing style, Montano breaks down the publishing process into easy steps, and then takes you by the hand and effortlessly guides you through each one. From defining your style and specialty to finding an agent, he leaves no stone unturned. He’s open and honest with his entire process, revealing important questions he asks himself as well as actions he’s taken to get his books published

He doesn’t just give you the generalized how-to either, but shares his own secrets, tips, and examples of his own work.  Montano devotes one section to sample book proposals, sharing two of his own proposals, one from an earlier book and another from a more recent publication. You’re able to see firsthand what a successfully picked-up book proposal looks like.

He doesn’t end at simply creating the book, either. He takes you through the publishing process, and then even after you’ve been published. In this way, it’s the complete guide to publishing a craft book. With this book, Montano eases you through each step, all while helping you develop and distinguish your brand.

This is a great read for any crafter looking to write a craft book, but not sure where to start. As Montano states in his introduction: “If you follow my guidelines and advice, I can assure you that when you are ready to present your ideas to a publisher, you will have accomplished everything you need to do in order to have your very best shot at being published.”
