Julie Broad warns that finishing your manuscript doesn't mean your book is done. Rushing to publish on a fixed budget or timeline often produces lower quality work. Real quality takes more time than the few months some authors expect.
Mistake number two, not taking the time to make your book great. We have people who rush so fast, they don't take the time a book needs to be great and fully transparent. Here we've been guilty of helping an author through the process as fast as possible. You pay us monthly, so sometimes people come in with a fixed budget, so we rush to get the book done inside of their budget. And this is a mistake. As a result, we have had the occasional book come out that a third party says that just wasn't up to your book launcher standards. So I can imagine how it feels as an author of a book that people don't think is as good as it should be. In the name of giving someone the service we wanted, we are always learning lessons, and the lesson we continue to crystallize is that we have a process that really works as long as we hold ourselves and our authors to it. Many people think that writing was the hard part and now it's just going to take a couple of months to publish. And, well, you can publish it that quickly if you don't care about getting something that's great into the market. You only care about speed.
