Write, Publish, Repeat, by Lynette Greenfield

Write, Publish, Repeat: Writing a book is hard work—but navigating the path to publication in today's fast-changing world can be even harder. In this revised and expanded edition, award-winning author and publisher Lynette Greenfield draws on more than 30 years of experience in the book industry to give writers the clarity, confidence, and know-how they need to succeed.

Greenfield—CEO of Limelight Publishing, seasoned bookseller, sales representative, and passionate author advocate—takes you behind the curtain of the publishing world, revealing how it really works. From getting your manuscript past the slush pile to deciding whether you need an agent, from understanding contracts to spotting self-publishing scams, she shares practical, straight-talking advice grounded in real industry insight.

This new edition also tackles one of the most pressing topics facing writers today: how to write and publish in the age of AI. You'll learn about the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence brings to creativity, discover ethical and legal considerations, and find practical ways to protect and promote your unique author voice in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

Packed with step-by-step guides, actionable tips, real-life case studies, and candid interviews with authors, Write, Publish, Repeat is both a manual and a mentor. Greenfield's framework—built on the three pillars of Courage, Encounters, and Action—offers a fresh way to approach your writing journey. Whether you dream of traditional deals, plan to self-publish, or want to future-proof your writing in an AI-driven world, Write, Publish, Repeat gives you the tools, strategies, and insider knowledge to make it happen.
