For those who are asking, "How can I publish my book?" Thomas Christopher created the CD, Get Your Book Out!. The CD has videos to show you how to self publish [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbour.php]barbour paris[/url] books by printing on demand.
Many people write novels and memoirs. Many professionals write books to enhance their professional reputations. Should they consider self publishing? Book publishing print on demand makes self publishing easier and cheaper, but potential authors may have some questions.
Q. Should I publish my book through [url=http://www.mquin.com/giuseppezanotti.php]giuseppe zanotti pas cher[/url] an established publisher?
If you can, sure. You'll probably need an agent who expects a piece of your advance and royalties. If there's not much chance of a lot of sales, there's not much chance of finding an agent. Your royalties are going to be maybe 5% to 10% of what the publisher receives. That means your book will need to sell a large number of copies to make it worth the time of any agent to pitch it for you.
If you can get a conventional publisher, the publisher will handle editing, proofreading, cover design, [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey[/url] layouts, indexing, ISBNs, Library of Congress numbers, and the multitude of details that separate professional book publishing from amateur. If you are published by an established publisher, you get credibility. All those things are worth a lot. But you will still need to promote the book yourself.
Q. Isn't publishing a book a long, expensive process?
Through a traditional publisher, yes. Of course, a lot of the time and money is to insure quality and to launch the book into bookstores.
If you expect to self publish, do a full launch, and compete in bookstores, yes, it is a long and arduous process. Do not try to compete in bookstores without first reading Dan Poynter's "The Self Publishing Manual."
Quality can be expensive. With a traditional publisher, you pay for it by low royalties. With self publishing, [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.fr]doudoune moncler[/url] you pay for it directly up front.
Getting a book you can sell online, at personal appearances, and in your office need not be long and expensive. If you just want to give the book away to family and friends, it can be quick and inexpensive. It is only a little more involved than duplicating pages and having them bound at an insta print shop, but you get an elegant book.
With print on demand, you can buy a single copy at a modest price. I published a 108 page US Trade perfectly bound paperback and [url=http://www.mquin.com/giuseppezanotti.php]giuseppe zanotti sneakers[/url] printed off a single copy that cost me $10.65 total, shipping included. In even slightly larger quantities, they cost less apiece: You save on both printing and shipping.
Q. Aren't print on demand books of poor quality?
No. Many publishers now use print on demand technology. The quality can be as good as you would get from a conventional printer. The one I ordered was excellent.
Q. How much money can I expect to earn?
For most books by [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] most new authors, not very much, no matter how you publish it. Self [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] publishing and selling personally and online, you can keep more than half the price. Selling through bookstores you would get much less than half the price. You're responsible for promoting the book in either case.
If you are an independent professional, the real benefit of publishing [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/moncler.php]moncler outlet[/url] a book is in building a reputation among clients as an [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister france[/url] expert [url=http://www.getconversational.com]hollister france[/url] in your field. [url=http://www.ilyav.com/uggpascher.php]boots ugg pas cher[/url] Clients will seek you out. Publishing with a major publisher is better for building your reputation, but unless you are [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbour.php]barbour[/url] in an academic field, a small publisher is better than no publisher. If you self publish, buy your own ISBN and name your small press something different from your name or the name of your book.
