Introduction
Presidential Medal of Freedom winner and acclaimed American author Toni Morrison once said: “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
Good advice – especially in this day and age, where traditional publishing is only one of the options you can choose, when it comes to making sure others read your books. And, according to many mainstream sources, it may not even be your best option. (Think about it: Even assuming it’s going to be accepted by a traditional publisher, not only are publishers getting pickier and pickier (and turning out less titles) but there will be at least a year in between submitting your manuscript, having it reviewed, then sent to a higher authority, then accepted, then negotiated. And then production begins…)
This comprehensive guide will present you with a variety of self-publishing options and explore their viability. We’ll take a look at all types of books and book-delivery systems, including:
• Information Products
• Kindle eBooks
• Books on CD/DVD
• Audio books (DC and MP3)
• Hardcover books
• Pictorial books (Manga, comics, photo books, calendars)
We will finish off (almost) with CreateSpace, Amazon’s own self-publishing machine – one of the most popular self-publishing venues today. Before you rush to sign up with CreateSpace (which does have some noticeable disadvantages, to be weighed against its very real advantages) or join the Kindle eBook bandwagon, do take time to check out your alternatives.
After all, ninety-per cent of self-publishing success lies in taking time to plan your publishing strategy and putting yourself in a position to make the right informed choice.
