Self-Publish?

While I have been waiting for my ship to come in, in a manner of speaking, I've been looking into Self-publishing. And there seem to be as many ways to do this as there are fish in the sea. Some of these can get expensive.

Custom book covers, interiors, ISBN's etc. can all start to add up. So though I'm really and truly considering this I would give a word of caution to not jump at the first sign of publishing oppurtunity. And consider cost wisely. After looking at some royalties figures it can get a little complex.

Also, this is really important, if you know anyone capable of drawing or graphics design that won't charge so much please point them in my direction. I would like to have someone design cover art for my book.

Some of these self-publishers provide this service also, but prices vary widely.

If I go this route I think I will be ready to publish an actual book within 60 days! It may not be what I had in mind originally, but we all have to start somewhere.

  1. I can barely contain my excitement at having an actual hard bound edition of your book in my hands!! The rest of the world will soon discover what a great author you are.
