Some of us feel a gnawing something within indicating that a book is waiting to get out. An experience needs to be shared. A story idea needs to be brought to light. A character with an adventure needs a life to come into existence on the page. A How To needs to be How Told. Somehow we are &#8220;pregnant with book,&#8221; and it&#8217;s time to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>Writing a book is one thing. Publishing it is a whole other thing. Writers MUST know a lot about publishing, but they rarely do. They fumble, stumble, and fail; and they don&#8217;t get to see their creativity come to life in print. Many writers wish that the route to getting a book published was simply mapped out in some simple form, where the pitfalls, tricks and tips were out in the open, and easy to find.<\/p>\n<p>This is just why author and speaker <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edcyz.com\/\">Ed Cyzewski<\/a> authored his new book <em>A Path to Publishing<\/em><em>: What I Learned Publishing a Nonfiction Book<\/em>. He gave me a copy to read, and I know it&#8217;s going to make things much easier for people who want their books published.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2522\" style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lifeasprayer.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/05\/ptp220icon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2522\" title=\"PTP220Icon\" src=\"http:\/\/lifeasprayer.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/05\/ptp220icon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/ptp220icon.jpg 220w, https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/ptp220icon-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Path to Publishing -by Ed Cyzewski<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the next post, (or soon) I&#8217;ll ask Ed a few direct questions about how his book can be helpful.
