Book publishing insights from Alan Rinzler
Last month I was in San Francisco on business, and was granted the opportunity to meet with Alan Rinzler, an editor with John Wiley & Sons. Though my book is published by Wiley, Alan’s not in my division so I don’t get access to him through the company. This was a special one-on-one meeting requested [...]

Things are going swimmingly with Essentials of Corporate Fraud, but I find myself not knowing how to answer a common question. “How are book sales going?” Well, I don’t know. What is your frame of reference? Professional books like this aren’t ever going to be New York Times best sellers, so if that’s what your definition [...]

Yesterday Fox Business interviewed Joe Wikert, a blogger and Vice President and Executive Publisher at John Wiley & Sons (the company that published my book!)

It’s official! My first book, Essentials of Corporate Fraud is done. It is on its way to the printer, to be ready for shipment by March 14, if not sooner. The hard work was in writing it, the stuff that came after that was a relative breeze. Although when people ask me if it was hard [...]

Wednesday, November 14, 2007
A few months ago, I wrote a series on this blog about my experience getting my first book published. I was hoping to inspire some other professionals out there who might be thinking about writing a book of their own, and from the emails I received, it looks like it worked! I submitted my final manuscript [...]

The final manuscript was sent today, so Essentials of Corporate Fraud is officially done. I’ll have a small bit of work to do after the copy editors get their hands on it, but I don’t expect there to be much to do in that regard. Overall the process of writing the book was fun. I wrote [...]

I am wrapping up writing my manuscript entitled Essentials of Corporate Fraud, to be published by John Wiley & Sons. I’ve been discussing my experience with finding a publisher and getting a book deal here. It’s been an interesting process, and not quite what I expected. In a nutshell, it has been way easier than [...]

I found this post about writing a book on Scott Berkun’s website. Scott is an author and consultant in the software industry. Apparently since he’s written a successful book, a lot of professionals come to him for advice about book writing. But the truth is that anyone can write a book, as Scott points out. But [...]

Monday, August 6, 2007
After a couple of weeks of other topics, I’m back to continue my series on how I got my book deal and what I’ve learned about getting a book published. It came time to negotiate my contract with Wiley, and I was happy that I had an experienced attorney to help. So You Want to Write [...]
