Reasons Behind the Popularity of Self Book Publishing

There are several viable reasons behind the popularity of books that are self-published by the authors who have written them, rather than going to a traditional book publisher. The benefits attributed to self publishing are expected to greatly increase the number of authors continuing to take on the responsibility of publishing, marketing and selling their own works.

An Introduction to Self Publishing

Self publishing means different things to different people. In its most basic definition, self publishing means that an author has complete control over the book they wrote and they are responsible for fulfilling all of the duties that a traditional publisher would. This means that aside from the actual writing of the book, the author is also responsible for running a small business with the goal of producing, marketing and selling their book.

Joanna Penn With Thoughts on Self-Publishing

Joanna Penn, author and writer of The Creative Penn writing and publishing website, recently spoke at a meeting of Women In Publishing about her experiences in self-publishing. Penn’s first self-published book came in 2008, back when the Kindle was only available in the US and the popularity and availability of ebooks wasn’t the same as it is today.

Your Book is Worth Professional Editing

If you want your book to be a success then you need to make sure you get it edited properly. This doesn’t mean that you you go over it one extra time to make sure all your words are spelled correctly and it doesn’t mean that you trust it to a relative or friend to do this important task for you.

A Series can be Your Ticket to a Career in Writing

I have always been a big fan of reading a series if I’ve made a connection with the main character. Like the time I picked up the latest edition, at the time, of a Michael Connelly book featuring his rough but admirable character Harry Bosch.

A Great Way to Remember the Holidays

Now that the holidays are all but a distant memory, there comes the thought of how you can keep those memories for years to come and share them with others. I’m sure there isn’t a family out there that doesn’t have hundreds of great pictures of family members during the holidays, featuring all the wonderful family get together and activities they shared during one of the most magical times of the year.

Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated . . .” With her grandmother’s mock, Louise knew that she, like the biblical Esau, was the detested elder twin. Caroline, her self-interested younger sister, was the one everyone loved.

Marketing Your Self Published Book

Most writers are solitary people by nature. They take their creative minds and express them by telling stories in books while living in their own private worlds. That type of person makes for a great author but a marketing expert, not so much.

Book and Photo Book Publishing

Authors who are just starting out with their first book tend to think that they have to wait until their book is finished before they can start promoting it.

Find Your Niche

“You can’t please all of the people all of the time”, this phrase was never more accurate then it is when it comes to marketing your self-published book.
