15 Frequently Asked Questions
Here are 15 of the most frequently asked questions I have heard over the years related to book writing and publishing. As mention, most writers are already curious and have asked a certain number of questions at least in their own minds if not openly.
If you are not comfortable asking questions, I would recommend that you put that on your to-do list and work on it every day even if you just ask one small question. It doesn’t have to be related to publishing you just want to build your verbal muscle and move from discomfort to a feeling of comfort.
