Distribution is relatively simple. The tricky part is planning, organizing and actually writing the book.

My advice before you start reaching out to publishers is the following:

  • Build an outline which should have the Book Description, chapters and general structure

Pick a chapter other than the first one / introduction and put a deaf together.

That will help you structure and solidify what kinda of book you are writing, a better ideas of the effort and double as prep work since you have content that publishers will typically ask for as part of any proposal.
