- So you’ve finished writing your book-perhaps fulfilling a lifelong dream-and now you want to get it published.
Where do you go from here?
Maybe you’ve done your homework on the do’s and don’ts of publishing, but you’ve found so much conflicting advice that you’re overwhelmed.
How do you decide your next step?
The publishing industry shows little tolerance for you if you don’t understand the game. That’s why I’ve put together this comprehensive video on how to publish a book (based on my 45+ years of experience).
It'll show you:
-The difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing
-How to decide your publishing path
-The 4-step process for submitting to traditional publishers
-And much more

I really like listening to Jerry speak, his voice is very relaxing.
Sir Daniel Fortesque I completely agree!!!
@@kristines1115 He must be a great Dad. He has a great nice Dad voice
@Incredible Music journey That's funny because
his voice stuck out to me too.
Absolutely!
He sounds like Joe Biden
I love that line, "if you think they should have waited until they got to the good stuff, next time start with the good stuff."
Thank you for sharing. I'm nine books in (self-published) and have violated just about every one of your guidelines. If I go for a tenth I will pay more attention. I write mostly because I enjoy it and have the time now that I am retired. I have little or no expectations, except for a nightly bowl of good ice cream next to my keyboard to keep me balanced.
How has that been working out for you?
This a must-see video! Many thanks! As an author, I can’t stress enough about having your manuscript tight as drum. Flubbed, misspelled words can turn a reader off in a heartbeat! Proofread ✍️ your work! A million times if needed! I guarantee you will find something you’ve missed! Good luck, everyone! 😊😊😊😊
What do you do for a 12 year old that has written a book they want published?
That’s the best advice on this thread. It’s always the last read through…….. until it’s done. Once that feeling of “I did my best” lands then you know it’s time.
Imagine he just starts advertising RAID: Shadow Legends.
nailed that comment
@@Herculesx501 thx =)
Haha 😂

For a fifth grader 🤭🤭
Lmao
Jerry you have become an absolute blessing for me. I can't recall how i found out about you but i am now interested in your books and should check out a few. As someone who always loves writing but always afraid to take that next stop.. im finally turning my stories into true manuscripts.
Great, T-Bone! Thanks for your kind comments.
lol, You sound just like I do. 'always afraid to take that next step'. I have about 30 years worth of ideas in notebooks all over my house. I am not at a place that I can sit down and enjoy perusing them and create something new.
Jerry has given me more information about writing then I could ever have discovered on my own.
Thanks for sharing. As a RUclipsr myself I know how much work goes into making and uploading tutorials. And yours are really good (relevant and pedagogical).
Thanks, Kent. And this is truer the harder we work to make it look easy, right? :)
Thank you, Jerry! Your knowledge and advice is much appreciated!
I've been enjoying hearing Jerry's voice into the writing process. Above all the other amazing writers, there seems to be a genuine heart for other writers progress.
Honestly the most valuable source of support I've found. You keep it real!
This information is so valuable. Thank you so much for spelling out pros and cons. Much appreciated !!
Thank you Jerry. I love your videos. They are very enlightening. I wrote a book about my Mom’s life. She lived a rough life in the foothills of Kentucky, during the onset of World War ll. When she was 12 she lost her Dad after he was shot by his own father in-law. My book entails many hard times dealing with the aftermath of this tragedy. I’m also writing the follow up to that book. It is about my tragedy as a three year-old. I set myself on fire and ended up on the brink of death. It is about how the love of family can get you through even the worst of times. It covers many things but most of all, growing up in a small town dealing with the third degree scars that left me feeling unworthy in life. For now I am self publishing mostly for friends and family. It has taken me far too long to get this far. But I’m determined to see it through. Maybe in time I may publish these traditionally. My question is….can that be done after I have done the self publish platform. I love your books and your son’s work as well. Thank you and God Bless.
Take care ❤️
We're u able to self publish? Or traditional?
Thank you, Mr Jenkins, for your useful and honest advice.

Thank you, Mr. Jenkins. Very helpful.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
Thank you so much for this info! It's valuable to me as I will be doing this traditionally in the near future. Really appreciate your content!
I love your stuff. Very helpful and motivating.
Mr. Jenkins, Thank you for this great information.
Thank you so much for this Jerry. You answered all my mind probing questions
I wrote a mystery novel not because I wanted to, but because I was told I could, by so many family and friends. Apparently I have a gift that I needed to share. It took a few short months and many bottles of wine to complete. Now I have a 55k word novel that is well received and am encouraged to get it published. Navigating the many videos and websites online in order to sort through the fluff and scam attempts is daunting.
I have read Mr. Jenkin's work in the past and respect him as a writer. This video is a healthy dose of reality and offers some great insights into the real world of publishing. I will add it to my growing list of resources in my quest to find the best option as a novice writer.
Concise and useful
Thank you for the great advice! This is wonderful info.
Out of all the others, this has been the best sound advice.
Your fine tuning tips certainly brings a manuscript alive. Thanks Jerry.

Jerry is so amazing. He is so selfless and truly heart giving. He's been one of my most favorite authors. He has always fallen on the top of my list. Great advice! Ty!
Hi Jerry! I must say, I very recently discovered your channel, but I'm loving the tips and the calm way you explain things. I'm dreading the day I think I'm finished with my story and have to write those query letters and synopsis and whatnots. But your tips make me feel like I can do it. My goal is to finish the manuscript this year. I started last February and have worked on it almost every day since. This video made me consider to try and start building a platform now. Something I've been stalling with despite other authors also saying that. Thank you for your videos and the mails. :)
This is fantastic advice! I will be sending out my manuscript this spring!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, I have learnt a lot .

Thank you for sharing your expertise. Your speaking is really brilliant word by word understandable.
You’ve got a new follower Sir. Thank you!👍
My biggest issue with trade publishing is the time-frame. It can take many years for a book to make it through the agents and into the hands of readers, especially if you don't already have an agent. If you are the 'write and forget it' type who has plenty of patience, this is a fine method. However, someone with my level of patience - it would be a nightmare.
I think self-publishing is the way to go if you want to develop the skills needed to do it correctly, and have the time and desire.
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for sharing your decades of experience and knowledge with us
Very illuminating thanks for sharing. The dollar numbers specifically were very clarifying on the economics of it.
