From the Typewriter to the Bookstore: A Publishing Story

Ever wonder how a book travels from the author to the reader? Or how much work is involved in the publishing process? And is this whole internet thing just a fad, like pagers and Tamagotchis?

The Digital Marketing Team at Macmillan is here to explain and enlighten. In the words of James Joyce, "Books are hard to make. People should buy more of them."

Guys, learn how to write your own novel doesn't have to be difficult (I used to think it did). I'll give you some advice right now. Search a step-by-step instruction and coaching known as Novelonax Academy (do a google search). Seriously, that online class has provide me the best lesson about novel writing.

WEll, as a teacher, I wish there were something like this that's is accurate because I'm trying to help my students learn about a process, so they can appreciate revision and editing. Boo Hiss if it's not true...

The internet is not a fad. Books are good sources of information but they are easily being superseded by the internet due to its sheer ease of access, the fact that the information given is typically free, and you can get such info quite quickly. That being said, this has been a very educational video about how books are made. Cheers to the author!

This is so wrong. They leave like 1,000 steps out.
