There are so many questions to be asked and answered. How does the publishing industry really work? How do you go about submitting a manuscript so that it gets further than the dreaded slush pile? Do you need the help of an agent and, if so, how much will that cost you? If you're lucky enough to receive a publishing offer, what do you need to know about the contract and how to negotiate the best deal? And if you decide, like a growing number of writers, that self-publishing might be for you, how do you avoid the cowboys who are only out to rip you off? Help is at hand. Juliet Rogers, publisher and former CEO of the Australian Society of Authors, knows the book industry inside out. Writing a book is hard work. Knowing what to do next can be even harder.

Let me give you Tyler Dixon's resume: thoughtful, manly, father of the year, widower, ridiculously attractive (basically the opposite of a dad bod). This might sound like good news for someone like me-someone who dreams of getting married and becoming a mom-but it's not. Getting involved with a parent is grounds for immediate removal at my school, and right now, my fragile heart can't handle being fired. My mom just died. My boyfriend broke up with me, and to top it all off, my dad started dating again. Stable employment is the only good thing I have. Risking my job and my heart is the most foolish thing I could do. Tyler Being a widower isn't like the movies. There's not a block of women knocking on my door, bringing me casseroles every day. No, real life is work, laundry, and groceries-all while being both the mom and the dad. I'm pretty much failing at this single-parent thing. I don't have time to date.Which is good since the only woman I'm interested in keeps pushing me away: Miss Johnson. Emphasis on the Miss-as in, my son's teacher. It's hard to convince a woman to go out with you when she'll get fired. But it's either pursuing Meg, despite her job, or the never-ending depths of loneliness-no big deal. Compared is a witty, heartfelt rom-com with a teacher/parent romance, an irresistible single dad, and swoony chemistry that will have you rooting for a happily-ever-after while keeping the romance closed-door. Trigger Warning: This book deals with the loss of a spouse and the loss of a parent. Strong themes of grief and mourning are written throughout. Meg Confession: I'm attracted to my student's dad.
