3 reasons you might want to wait to publish your book<\/h3>\n

By Nina Amir<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got a book idea. Maybe you\u2019ve even written the manuscript. You\u2019re ready to move forward because you\u2019re eager to get to the end goal: published author. After all, it\u2019s your dream to become an author.<\/p>\n

And if you want to traditionally publish, you\u2019ll be disappointed when agents or acquisitions editors reject your project because they feel the time is not yet right.<\/p>\n

\"Author<\/a>So when is the right time to publish? That time arrives when you have everything in place to promote your book. That means you have:<\/p>\n
