Books For Authors
YOU can have your own book publishing company
Publish better books. Publish them faster. Make more money. Have more fun. [Kindle e-book]
Michael N. Marcus
(from the publisher) There is lots of confusion about self-publishing. This book will help you sort out the misstatements and misunderstandings. It will guide you from your first word to your first sale. It can help a frustrated writer make a quick and painless transition to become a less frustrated writer and publisher.
Writers are often unable or unwilling to have their books published by “traditional” publishing companies and decide to “self-publish.” Many of them use the services of a “vanity press” or “self-publishing company” or “print-on-demand company” or “subsidy publisher” with the thought that the writers will become self-published authors.
They’re not. They’re not really self-publishing. They’re really just customers of companies that make most of their money by selling services to writers, not by selling books to readers, and they give up a lot.
While there may be legitimate reasons to use these companies, the writers who use them will often wait longer for books to be sold, have less control over the appearance and quality of the books, spend more money, make less money, wait longer to get their money, and have a lower quality book than if they became independent self-publishers.
It’s not difficult to become an independent self-publisher, and the potential rewards, advantages and enjoyment can be enormous. This book will tell you how.
(from Michael) I wrote it and I like it.
