TIPS file
There are a lot of ways of doing the same thing.
Being inundated with manuscripts, solicited or not, agents and editors, have established some formats—call it a comfort zone—within which prefer to work. It definitely speeds up their work.
This is not unique. Even those of our calling, who have decided to go-it-alone and venture off into the world of self-publishing—whether through a vanity press, a POD (print on demand), or eBook, will establish their own set of rules.
I wanted to share some of the things I have learned so I am creating this TIPS file. Some items come as a result of learning from my own mistakes and others from finding answers for friends with questions.
If you have questions, information, or suggestions then please send it in. I promise to post the best items I receive...some may even make the TIP file.
