So You Want To Write A Book?
Self publishing can be a wonderful solution for getting into print. It puts you in control of your own destiny and positions you to be a lot more profitable than going with a typical royalty publisher. It can be tough because self-publishing is, by nature, small publishing: there is a limit to what one person can do. Despite this, self-publishing can be easy, fun, and customized. Self-publishing can be quite beneficial to writers. You can control how your book looks and is distributed and keep more profit. Self-publishing can be a slippery slope for a writer, because the common advice is that publishers don’t want to see anything that’s already appeared out there - be it on the Internet or in your home-brewed e-zine. Books become self-published for very different reasons, most of which are nothing to do with the quality, or lack of it. Self-publishing can be done online and is accessible to the world for little or no money. Self-publishing is sometimes difficult to differentiate from "vanity publishing." The latter term is a pejorative one, usually referring to situations in which a publisher contracts with authors regardless of the quality and marketability of their work. They appeal to the creators' vanity and desire to become a "published author," and make the majority of their money from fees charged to the creators for publishing services, rather than from sales of the published material to retailers or consumers. So whether you want to publish something just for friends and family or as a start to becoming a well known author and writer, follow some common sense rules. Research, study and learn the basics and then decide if self-publishing is the thing for you! |
