This is a guest post written by Laura Tentolini. Good morning everyone. I write this post to share the experience of publishing my book and, in a certain sense, encourage those who have abandoned the idea of publishing. Many people ask me how many publishers I contacted and how I managed to publish. The answer is actually simple: a lot of work and understanding what the publisher wants before proposing the book. Publishing with a traditional publisher is not an impossible feat. On the contrary, for me it was quick and easy: I sent the manuscript to a single publisher who accepted it immediately.
Simple luck? I imagine that the text was quite good, but I'm at my first publishing experience and I certainly can't define myself as an excellent writer! The volume I published is a manual that explains to Phone Number Data shopkeepers and sellers how to use non-verbal communication (CNV) for a profitable relationship with customers and, in general, to improve relationships between people. I therefore chose manuals instead of narrative; this choice probably made publication easier. How did the idea of writing the book come about? For years I have been writing together with a friend called Alessandro Muscinelli, consultant, trainer, coach and CNV expert. Alessandro told me that he was looking for a text to use in his training seminars.
The text had to have some characteristics: propose the contents of the seminars; deal with sales and non-verbal communication; be clear and offer quality content. I had the contents and the schedule of the seminars. “Why don't we write it then?”, I said to myself. Hence the idea of proposing the text to a publisher. How I chose the publishing house First I looked for the publisher, then I started writing. I looked around the bookstores until I found a CE that published texts like the one I had in mind. I wanted a traditional publisher, well distributed across the territory. I knew Franco Angeli and I have always liked his books: they are clear, well laid out, aesthetically beautiful, with careful content. Choosing the EC, therefore, was natural. How did I get the publisher to accept the book This was perhaps the simplest step. I presented a finished product in line with the publisher's needs: why would he reject it?
