Have you dreamed of seeing your book on the shelves at your local bookstore? In this video, I provide an overview of how the book publishing industry works and walk through the steps it takes to get a book published by a Big Five publishing house. You'll learn about query letter writing, finding a literary agent, and, finally, scoring a book deal.

The Big Five publishing houses are Penguin Random House, Macmillan, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette. Simon & Schuster is set to be acquired by Penguin Random House.
