Self Publishing for Friends And Family
 

Recent technological innovations in online book publishing services have changed the way we publish. Now you can publish just as many copies of your book as you wish, and/or allow others to pay for their copies, too.

Self-Publishing For Profit
  Do you dream of being a best-seller? Self-publishing your work and taking charge of distribution and sales is an exciting way to get unique books to market.
Sharing Your Memoir
 

Who is your audience? Understanding the interests and needs of those who will read the book will help you to write it more effectively. Your anticipated audience determines your distribution, too.

This article looks at the techniques of “guerilla marketing” to help you sell your self-published memoir or family history book.

   
 

self- publishing

The world of publishing has been revolutionized in recent years by technological changes. Digital printing has made it possible to print a single copy of a book for a reasonable price. Gone are the days when you had to print a "run" of 500 copies or more in order to self-publish.

With “on-demand” printing, books are affordable. The primary cost of self publishing is the initial labor of creating the book. Fewer authors seek traditional publishing. Instead of relying on a commercial publisher to design and market their books, many authors choose to do it themselves and retain the full rights to their books.

These articles explore the ways an author can benefit from self publishing. We’ll consider the services available for a limited distribution to family and friends, and the options for authors who intend to sell books on the commercial market.

“Anyone who's fortunate enough to live to be 50 years old should take some time to sit down and write the story of your life, even if it's only twenty pages, and even if it's only for your children and grandchildren.” -- Bill Clinton (born 1946)
