How to choose book writing and publishing skills
Use drafting skills (fiction-studio, novel-writing) while the book is being written, review skills (editorial-review, feedback-triage) once a draft exists, and submission or publishing skills at the end.
For traditional publishing, submission writes query letters, synopses and blurbs; for self-publishing, publishing walks through ISBNs, copyright pages and retailer metadata.
These skills are procedure and need no credentials. Retailer accounts and ISBN purchases happen outside the agent.
