I am a proud graduate of one of Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans & Military Family (IVMF) entrepreneur programs, and as such, I receive resources, announcements, and invitations to IVMF events and training. Today, I saw this and thought it was worth sharing since people regularly ask me where to start with publishing a book.

From the IVMF newsletter:

“Want to Publish a Book?

Veterans, and especially veteran entrepreneurs, might want to publish a book for all sorts of reasons. It might be a part of your consulting or coaching business, or just a standard practice in your field. Maybe you simply want to tell the story of your service, or perhaps you’re running for office. For whatever reason you’re thinking about writing a book, we’ve put together a blog to help you get an overview of the process and get off on the right track on your publishing journey.”

Here is the direct link, and the advice is useful not only to veterans. Although there are several links with strikethroughs in them, they all work except for the one for publication review, which I’ve provided here. I’ll also add that the 30-45 day estimate in the post is highly optimistic. I am a contributing author to a publication that has been in the Department of Defense prepublication security review process for well over a year now.

Good luck to all aspiring authors!
