With the changes in the publishing industry over
the past few years, many authors were able to publish bestselling books.
However, few chances are given to new authors in getting a publishing contract.
Letting new authors be in the tight spot in looking for an ideal publisher and,
increasingly, self-publishing became the best opportunity to get their books in
front of readers.
With self-publishing, you can become an agent of
your own success!
A self-publishing company offers authors more opportunities and a wider array of options giving
them the freedom to choose suitable terms for them.
What are the best parts from these self-publishing services?
- Control
You are in complete control on every aspect of your
book and its entire process like the design, graphics, cover, title, etc. You have a greater chance of succeeding since
you’re committed in advertising it rather than handing it to a publisher who
has hundreds of titles.
- Rights
You’re able to retain your rights on your book unlike
traditional publishing where you have to give up your rights to them.

Revenues
You receive revenues (100%)
from the sales of your books. Oftentimes, you get paid more quickly
compared to conventional publishers where system is somehow delayed.
- Marketing
You decide on how to market
and distribute your book into stores and ultimately into reader’s hands. You
also set the price of your book or the giving of discounts and giveaways.
Hereby, determining how much will you earn in each sold copy. Nonetheless, you
are also responsible if anything turns out the other way around.
- Time
Since you pay for
everything-design, editing printing, advertising, etc- to get your book
published, so it doesn’t take that long before it gets to the market. If you
work hard, then your book will definitely be in the market within months.
Despite the
good services offered, there are other self-publishing companies who are involved in vanity publishing. You should be vigilant
enough and avoid self-publishing scams
otherwise; you’ll be taken advantage by these scammers and end up wasting your
time and money.
Whatever path
you take, it is necessary to go in with your eyes wide open. Publishing and
selling your books are in a competitive field and all the means have its own
boon and bane. Be clever in weighing things so you can find a way which is best
for you.
