Morrow and Curry offer practical suggestions on every step of the writing and publication process. Of particular use is their insight into the pros and cons of various publishing models; self-publishing, they note, provides complete creative control, but places manufacturing costs on the author, while hybrid publishing promises higher royalties, but requires writers to pay for marketing. Aspiring authors will want to study this.
