Have you considered self publishing?
If you had been asked this question a few years back you would expect to be met with a sharp response. Any novelist or writer would have thought it futile to try and publish their own work. In this day and age of the Internet and online books, the reality is, there is more opportunity than ever before.
Some people have decided to invest in self-publishing packages to get their work published and keep the a greater share of the proceeds themselves without handing most over to publishers and advertisers. But this is not just about making money. In fact, many people who publish their own books do it out of the satisfaction that their book is out there in the public domain.
So, if you are starting to despair that no publisher will consider you for a book deal, think again. Maybe self-publishing is the way forward for you.
This is so true, today’s market for self published books is totally different that it was a few years ago… and there are more and more authors being able to find an audience for their work.
I believe that the influx of coaches etc and their need to get their word out had added to the surge in self published books, especially non-fiction.
I’m Karrie Ross of http://www.bookcoverdesigner.com and a professional book designer and coach of branding and promotion for authors and experts. I have worked with many new authors just wanting to share their experiences. AND with social networking can now sell their book from their website and online stores like amazon.
If you have something to say, to share and you like writing… I say… go for it… follow that dream. You’ll never know what it will take you.
