Why Not Publish
Yourself?
Wouldn’t you rather make more money, get to press sooner and keep
control of your work? This manual is your complete reference for writing,
printing, publishing, promoting, marketing and distributing books. Whether
you are promoting a published book or plan to write and publish one
soon, you will refer to this manual again and again.
You will discover how easy it is to:
•Build your book rather than just write it—and copyright
it in your name.
•Multipurpose your “book” into downloadable, CD and
ebook versions.
•Wring maximum value out of your “book” by spinning
off audiotapes, videotapes, magazine excerpts, foreign-language editions
and more.
•Bypass the publishers and go direct to a short-run book printer.
•Set up your own publishing company and take the tax breaks.
•Promote your books with email, book reviews, autographings, feature
articles and radio/TV interviews.
•Get your book into chain bookstores, online bookstores, specialty
stores and catalogs.
•Use the Internet for promotion. Appendix 2 has over 40 pages
of valuable resources complete with email and Web site addresses.
