I Help People Publish Books

With so many publishing options available, how do new published authors pick the best one?

Here are some questions to consider when you are researching the best publishing option for you:

MAJOR PUBLISHER
Do you already have an audience or community for your work? If you already have a large e-mail and mailing list from talks, workshops, presentations and clients of 10,000 members or more you might want to consider writing a book proposal to grab the attention of a larger publisher who wants to invest in you and pay you 1-5% of the sales of each book.

SMALLER MORE LOCAL AUDIENCE
If you are planning to sell or give away a couple of books to: family, friends, audience members, clients and/or prospects you may want to self publish and keep more profits per book after the initial layout, editing, copyright and printing, shipping, distribution and storage costs.

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD YOUR CREDIBILITY, ONLINE COMMUNITY AND KEEP 100% PROFITS...
Many writers are realizing the value of publishing e-books. By putting some or all of the parts of their book online it's the quickest way to build credibility, collect e-mail addresses for future product promotions and receive 100% profit off the sale of the book down road.

AND THEN THERE ARE WRITERS THAT DO A COMBO
However there are many other services such as print on demand that provide the flexible benefits of having a hard copy of your book without the huge investment.

Save hours of research and experimentation by talking to a seasoned publisher about your options. Send and e-mail with the subject line: Publishing options to: ruth@scriptingforsuccess.com
