HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR OWN BOOK
More info from the author Vernon Coleman “Unless you already know a publisher or a literary agent your chances of having your manuscript read (let alone actually published) are almost nil.
Publishers Often Reject Bestsellers
Publishers don't have time to read all the manuscripts they are sent. And even when they do read them they aren't very good at spotting "winners". Just about every "great" writer has had his or her share of rejection slips – often for a book which eventually became a bestseller. Every year countless thousands of authors give up, dump their manuscripts in drawers and try to forget about them. But there is an alternative. I have had numerous books published by many of Britain's top publishing houses – and many of my books have been in the official bestseller lists. But a few years ago, after a book I had written had been rejected by just about every publisher in London, I decided to publish the book myself.
Publishing Is Not Difficult - When You Know How
When, a relatively short time later, I had sold over 10,000 copies in hardback I realised that publishing really wasn't all that difficult. I now publish all my own new books and buy back the British rights to all my other backlist books as soon as they are available. Many of the books I have published myself have sold over 10,000 copies each. Some have sold considerably more. Just as important, I am free to write exactly what I want to write without having editors and marketing directors trying to tell me what to do! Self publishing is fun, it is rewarding and (if you know how to do it) it can be profitable. I think that self publishing is the future for publishing. I am so enthusiastic that I have just completed a book containing all the "inside" information and secrets I've gathered over the years. Called How To Publish Your Own Book my new book explains in detail: Why you should publish your own book How to turn your words into a book How to sell your book How to maximise your profits. There are chapters explaining how to get your novel, autobiography, self-help book, history book or whatever-it-is book printed, and answers to questions such as:
The book is packed with information telling you exactly what to do – and what not to do. It even covers things like packing and posting books to your customers, as well as selling rights to magazines and foreign agents. And there are notes on writing fiction and non fiction books. If you want to publish your own book (and sell lots of copies and make a profit) then I think you'll find this book invaluable. But don't take my word for it. Have a look yourself and make up your own mind. And if the book isn't what you'd hoped for then just return it to me within 28 days and I'll refund your money. But I know it will be just what you need – because I know I wish I could have read something just like it when I started out. It would have saved me lots of time and money.
Sharing Secrets
"Why are you planning to give away all your inside knowledge?" asked an astonished friend when he heard about this new book. The answer was simple and easy, and I didn't even have to think about it. I love books. I love writing them. I love reading them. And now I love publishing them. I want to share my enthusiasm and what I have learned. I want to share this with someone like you who also loves books and writing and who shares my passion. By reading my book I think you can also share in my success. Self publishing is not a last resort – it is the best way to publish a book today.”
