When you learn to publish your own books, you not only save a lot of money, but you become self-sufficient. The first benefit of self-publishing is, that there are no literary agents or publishers standing in your way. This allows for diversity to flourish. There are no contracts to sign and you are free to make changes to your book at any time. Not only are the barriers to entry lower, but the royalties are higher. When you work with a traditional publisher, they have to take their cut. By self-publishing your own book, you can earn more for each book that you sell. When you self-publish, you own your work and have complete control over the publishing process. For a lot of authors who have poured their hearts and souls into writing a book, it’s very important for them to have the power to make decisions throughout the publishing process. As technology has improved, self-published authors now have access to high-quality printing and book distribution networks similar to traditionally published authors. Your self-published book will look like the other books on the pages of Amazon. For this reason, I have now released a short simple guide with Self-publishing Tips, that walks you through the entire process. The book also contains information on marketing and distribution to gain sales. The book only costs 0.99 cents and is available on AMAZON. CLICK HERE
