​
Q: I just finished writing a book and want to publish… now what?
A: First, explore which publishing route is right for you, traditional or self-publishing. If you decide to self-publish, the next steps are self-editing the book and hiring professional editors. You must query an agent if you want to publish traditionally. There are plenty of free online resources that list the many steps of publishing

​
Q: What writing software do you use?
A: Microsoft Word and Scrivener
​
Q: How much does it cost to publish with Counterpoise?
A: Nothing! Publishers pay you, not the other way around. Any publisher asking you for money is a vanity publisher and is a scam. If a traditional publisher like Counterpoise accepts your book, they will pay you an advance and royalties
