Advice On How To Self Publish A Book

By Bette Gay


One of the great things about the internet is that it has removed many of the barriers to entry for aspiring writers. It is now easier than ever to become a published author if you know how to self publish a book successfully. Whether you are interested in publishing your writing for financial reasons, for recognition or to disseminate your knowledge or craft, then you need to have a few tips up your sleeve to get a successful result.

There are a few distinct advantages to self publishing your book rather than going with a bricks and mortar traditional publishing house. Some of these benefits include: the speed of the publishing process in both getting your writing out there rather than having to endure countless rejection letters or waiting for a traditional publisher to appreciate your work and contract you and producing the product and increased profits with higher than customary royalties. When you are more involved in the process, then you can also enjoy more control over the whole process.

Before you jump into getting your book out there, there are a couple of things that you need to understand. In order to make the best choices for you, you should investigate the options that may be available to you. One of the considerations is whether to release your writing in paper format or in an electronic format that can be read on a mobile reading device.

These days you also have the option of choosing whether you want to print your writing in the traditional paper format or in electronic format. Paper is generally a more expensive process and you may need to be more creative with how you market the book and sell it in order to get the results you may be hoping for.

By contrast sales of electronic books are growing year on year and the cost of producing them is very low. Many of the world's largest sellers of printed material are also opening up their sales channels to make it easier for people to market their writing through them.

If you want to go out on your own and publish your own writing, then you should invest the time in reading blogs and websites that are written by people who have already done so. You can learn a lot about how to get the best results through reading widely and coming to understand the opportunities to take advantage of and potential pitfalls to avoid.

Since there is increasing demand for these kinds of publishing formats, there are now many different companies who can help to guide you through the process and produce your writing for sale. Each company has different policies and conditions so it is important that you understand what each is offering before you sign on for anything.

Finally, when you are learning how to self publish a book, the writing of it is not the end for you, but rather the beginning. In order to be successful, you need to be prepared to spend hours formatting, marketing and selling your product in order to get the financial results or recognition that you are hoping for.
