How to get started in book publishing?

By Lester Jones


Edward P. Morgan once said, "A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. He also added, "It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."

Books are published and not born. For others to enjoy, someone needs to give what you have created a form. You must be thinking that in order to get into publishing you will need a lot of equipment and also enough space. Nowadays, the picture is completely different.

Online publishing has gained immense popularity. You don't have to have that novel or self-help book published in print. You can publish it online by making it an e-book. Millions will see your work. You can advertise it on such sites as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. There are several other sites which may not be that prominent but still you can think of advertising your work. They have a dedicated group that come to their site to look for books for sale. They would rather buy in e-book form because it is cheaper and more convenient. There is no need to go to the shop. They can order it, and in some cases, have it the next day.

What are the main advantages? The cost is far less than having your book put in print. There will be a site in the internet to publish your work. You can have your work seen by millions from around the world. If they want it in print, they can print it themselves or they can just read it on their computer or some device such as a Kindle or Nook Book.

How to move about publishing in such way?

One can publish his article online. Ezine.com can be a good choice. If you want you can also start your own blog. If you have already written an e-book, you need to change it to an e-book form and put it on the e-book sites.

One of the good advantages of this type of publishing is that you can change content fairly easy. You need to stay committed to your version, once the book is sent for printing in the print medium.

You will probably want your own site to publish your work. In this way, those searching for the subject of your work can find it fairly easy.

Going online for your publishing needs just makes sense. Most people are online these days. They generally go to the internet for searching what they want. Because of this Amazon.com has become so popular. They not only make your search easier but also provides you result in an interesting manner.
