There is no higher form of art than the ability to produce visions in the mind, senses in the body, and emotions in the heart, through the crystallization of thought,
produced by the written word.

      No author brings exactly the same skills to the table, but few ever lack the desire to learn more.  Publishing a book is always a learning experience, but is also best approached with the tools and knowledge to succeed at hand.  Preparation is the key to that success, and each step should be planned and carefully considered, no matter what the level of distribution and sales the book is produced for.   It is not an easy task to produce a book for publication and this reality has insured the domination of publishing by companies with a great deal of control over the books they produce.  It also insures that very few of the books submitted to publishers are ever accepted.  If an author does write a book that meets with the particular standards of a particular publisher, a book is published. 
      In a few rare cases the book will hit the top levels of the industry and the author will profit well due to a large volume of sales.  The publishing industry has developed a rather sordid reputation with writers, who tend to find publishers as little more than contract mills with publicity staffs. Perhaps the most important reason behind this is the lure of wealth and fame, combined with the publisher's power, leads the author into signing contracts heavily weighted in the publishers favor.  Stories abound of highly successful authors receiving tiny percentages for their works simply because they signed bad contracts before they became successful.  This is where the lack of author empowerment is most evident.  Just knowing how to navigate the contractual phase itself alone can greatly affect the author's financial future. 
      This work will provide the author with the resources they need to take control of their work, and instill the confidence that comes with knowledge.
