What is Self Publishing ?
Your manuscript represents your passion, joy, hard work and creativity. How do you share it with the public at large (ideally, earning some money along the way)?
Self-publishing is the fastest growing segment of the book publishing industry. Authors find it attractive for many reasons:
- Publishing companies are difficult to approach and it is difficult for an author to be heard.
- It is time consuming with no assurance of getting published.
- With self-publishing you eliminate all such hurdles. You know you are going to be heard and your voice will carry weight. You will be involved in different aspects of the book publishing process, leading up to the final published copy.
- As a self-published author, you either publish the book yourself by following and executing all the cumbersome process and tasks yourself and get your work published or take help from a professional self-publishing company, like ours. In this instance the author pays the self-publishing company to handle the publishing process for them. Self-publishing services commonly include designing the book cover, interior layout or page setting, editing of the manuscript, assigning ISBN, marketing and distribution and much more.
