Why Every Entrepreneur Should Self-Publish a Book

I’ve published eight books in the past seven years, five with traditional publishers (Wiley, Penguin, HarperCollins), one comic book, and the last two I’ve self-published. In this post I give the specific details of all of my sales numbers and advances with the traditional publishers. Although the jury is still out on my self-published books, “How to be the Luckiest Man Alive” and ”I Was Blind But Now I See” I can tell you these two have already sold more than my five books with traditional publishers, combined.http://ping.fm/Atvpm

How to Get Your Book Published and Have Fun While Doing It

If you have more than a manuscript done, and getting your book published happens to be your grave concern, you need to learn how to get your book published yourself. Rejection letters are in no way hazardous to your desire to be published. The easiest way to get published is no longer confined in the traditional printing agreements where royalties are received as proportionate share in the sales revenues. Self-publishing and the use of subsidy publishers comprised the recent trends in deciding on how to get your book published.http://ping.fm/4aWoR

Welcome to Self Publishing Bookworks

Stay tuned, I'm just starting Self Publishing Bookworks.  The reason I started this blog is that I watched my wife attempt to get her books published for ten years.  I hope to appeal to all the writers out there that are unpublished.

There has been a paradigm shift and now the playing field has been leveled and no longer do you have to be blessed by one of the major publishing houses.  The reason for this shift is self publishing.

If you are an author, you owe it to yourself investigate self publishing.
