ABOUT THIS ONDEMAND WEBINAR

In this eye-opening special presentation, Writer's Digest publisher Phil Sexton examines what takes place behind closed doors at publishing houses, in meetings with bookstore buyers, and on the bookstore sales floor that will determine the success or failure of your book. He'll also provide advice, tips and strategies for ensuring that your book receives the best treatment and the best opportunities for success, as well as what questions you should be asking. You'll learn what publishers don't want you to know, sometimes forget to do, or purposefully ignore; what a hybrid author is and why you should be one; and many more "dirty little secrets."

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How you can make sure your unpublished book is being presented in a way that will appeal to publishers
  • What publishers don't want you to know about book acquisition, promotion, and sales
  • What questions you need to ask of your agent and/or publisher to ensure your book gets the right treatment
  • The main factors in determining the success or failure of your book
  • How self-publishing can help your long-term career goals and turn you into a ‚Äúhybrid author"

Don’t buy for restaurant industry
Size: 10.5, Color: Black, Size: 10.5, Color: Black
Good looking shoes, fairly comfortable and good value based on the description shared, so I don’t feel it’s fair to rate them lower than 4 stars. I had high hopes for them based on previous reviews from others saying they wore them in the food and beverage industry that mentioned their quality and durability, however I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you do. I purchased these to wear working in a full service upscale restaurant and in less than two months have managed to have torn the material on the middle exterior section and the bottoms of the shoes are already completely worn down. Good design, but the durability needs to be improved if they’re to hold up for that industry.

DO NOT BUY (lasted less than 7 months)
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
I bought these for work as a bartender in August of 2025. By December, the tops were scuffed, frayed, and peeling beyond repair, and by February, the soles were coming off. I’ve never had a pair of shoes with such low quality.

Most comfortable shoes, right out of the box!
Size: 8.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
Oh my! So, my ordering of shoes online has been hit or miss - 1/2 size too big or too small; too wide or not wide enough. Enter these Marc Joseph shoes… such a game changer. They fit like a glove, exceptionally comfortable, and easy to slip in and out of. I like them so much that I am shopping for another pair. So far, the size, quality, fit, feel, look, and comfort make this pair my dedicated first pick. Btw, I have been wearing them for six hours and they are still very comfortable! I highly recommend these shoes.
