Raw to Refined: How to Know If Your Idea Is Worth Publishing

Most books that never get written are not stopped by a lack of writing ability. They are stopped by uncertainty.The aspiring author sits with an idea they believe might be worth something - unable to commit to months of work - because they don't know how to answer the most fundamental question: is this actually publishable?The good news is that this question is answerable before you write a single chapter.
