Peters Township, PA — “While writing her first novel last year, Venetia resident Chris Posti realized writing it was only the beginning of the journey. The more she wrote, the more questions she pondered: How would she get her novel published? How long would that take? Where could she find an agent? Who would promote the book and how? Did she have what it takes to succeed as a novelist?
To find the answers, she talked with other authors, read articles and books, and listened to podcasts and videos. Then, right after her debut novel was published, she wrote Before You Write your Novel: What to know from the Get-Go. The book answers the questions on the mind of every aspiring novelist, enabling them to move forward with confidence.
At the close of the book, Posti shares her own inspirational publishing story, explaining how her debut novel, Falling Apart, Falling for You, came to be published by Elk Lake Publishing.
Before You Write your Novel: What to Know from the Get-Go is available online and everywhere books are sold. Chris Posti is available for media appearances and for giving talks to libraries, book clubs, 55+ communities, and church groups. For more information, see www.chrisposti.com.
Chris Posti’s writing experience comes in a variety pack: novelist, newspaper columnist, nonfiction author, blogger, freelancer, and business writer. As a self-employed executive and career coach, she helped clients achieve results, and now, through this book, she provides writers with a roadmap to get their manuscript published and into the hands of readers.”
