Prior to being published, new authors will frequently make mistakes that damage or even preclude their book’s marketability. Commonly, these errors include

• Poorly designed or stock cover art
• Unedited, under edited or unprofessionally edited text
• Under funded or lack of a book marketing budget
• Invisible or inadequate online presence for author and titles
• Lack of clear audience for the material

In subsequent articles, you will learn how critical each of these elements are and how to approach each one with marketability in mind.
