Your Book as a Product - field15
Thinking of your book as a product may seem cold, but it's essential for success. Historian Don Hagist explains how studying comparable books helps you identify the right publishers, set realistic parameters for word count and format, and write proposals that sell. Start with the end in mind.
My journey as a Tottenville historian began as a reporter covering Spanish Camp's demise, where I discovered Dorothy Day had stayed in a summer cottage as retreat from her Catholic Worker ministry. Learning she was baptized at my own parish, Our Lady Help of Christians, changed everything. History became personal.

An Author’s Journey Through Time
Uncovering Tottenville
Sometimes the best research discoveries happen when you're in the library. Finding Dr. Phillip Papas's That Ever Loyal Island: Staten Island and the American Revolution. Research has a way of connecting you to scholars whose work becomes integral to your own understanding.
