Self-Publishing
Self-publishing may sound alluring to you, because all writers desire to see their name in print. But there are many unforeseen issues when you start to tackle a book project. Self-publishing requires money and an extensive amount of time and preparation, especially if you want to print a quality book. When you self-publish, you have to edit, create, publish, distribute and market your book. Some self-publishing companies like Lulu.com and CreateSpace.com use print-on-demand so that you don’t need a warehouse to stock copies of your books. In addition, they provide a place for you to market your book too. While these companies are helpful, you have to make sure that you are getting the best deal and that you will be committed to editing your book and marketing it. Depending on how you self-publish, you might only get royalties.
