How to Vet and Pitch Traditional Publishers

In this episode of Don’t Write That Book, Mike and AJ walk you through the pros and cons of working with a traditional publisher and answer the big questions: can you get a traditional deal, and if you do, can you make money? What’s the timeline? Do you need an agent to get a deal? Will you lose control over your intellectual property? Our hosts also go over some red flags to help you determine if a publisher is legit—and a good fit.
