New authors' dreams of seeing their books published have come true! |
With the actual cost of publishing your book yourself at less than $5, there is NO REASON for you NOT to publish your book! New self-publishing services offer extremely interesting options to authors. Not only is it possible to self-publish easily and rapidly, but your book becomes available almost instantly on Amazon.com and in bookstores. It is also available online worldwide. YOU set the sales price and YOU determine how big your royalty will be. You automatically receive sales reports every month and the proceeds are automatically deposited directly in your bank account. It doesn't get any better than this!
Why Has Using a Publisher Become So Uninteresting?
1) It has become extremely difficult for new authors to find a literary agent, let alone a publishing house. Since most publishers require that a new author be represented by an agent, that can be a problem.
2) Publishers appear and disappear, and they don't always pay your royalties (trust us on that one!).
3) Agents retire or change careers and not all of them do a proper job, i.e. counsel you on the contract you're signing, keeping an eye on whether the publisher is keeping proper records and pays you what it truly owes you. That is part of an agent's job, but doesn't always get done.
4) When you deal with a publishing company, your book will not become available for at least 18 months after you hand in your manuscript. This means that it's going to take a long time before you see your first royalties (publishers often pay royalties only every 6 months) This also means that if you're writing technology books, your new book will be obsolete by the time it arrives on store shelves.
5) With self-publishing, your book can be used in more than one way. In addition to selling it online and in bookstores, you can use it as a calling card and brochure and to establish your professional credibility. You can include it into training sessions that you give, to add value to your training.
6) You can print just one book or as many as you want, either to keep for yourself or to sell worldwide.
7) When you self-publish, you keep most of your royalties. This means that instead of receiving -maybe- 10% or less of royalties from the publisher, you receive at least 60% and often 75% of the price of your book from the printer.
