18 Resources for Publishing your Book
Here at After Graduation, I talk about freelance writing mostly for the online market. That is, you have clients that hire you to write ebooks, articles, blog posts, press releases, or other types of media to get posted online. There’s a whole other world out there, though - book publishing. Print media in the form of magazines and newspapers might be slowly dying, but thousands of books still get published every year.
I’m not an expert in this area. I’d love to publish a print book someday, but it’s not my top priority right now. Since I don’t have any experience in book publishing, I’ve created a list of resources where you can find information about it. These are all awesome writers, so give ‘em a lookie if you have publishing aspirations.

For example, on After Graduation, I wanted to write a post that would be helpful for readers interested in publishing books. I’m an expert novel-starter, but a novice novel-finisher, so I’m not really qualified to give advice in this area. Instead, I create a list of 18 people who are qualified to give advice about publishing. [...]
