Indianapolis, IN. -- December 06, 2004 --
We're headed into fall - and you had lots of time this past summer to think
about your book.
Make this the year you publish. We can still get you there before the
holidays!
Aspiring authors are writing and publishing everything from their memoirs and
family history to management tomes, poetry, full color children's books and
more.
Publishing a book can even enhance your career. If you're an accountant and
you publish a book on preparing your own taxes, a funny thing might happen.
Instead of losing clients (Why pay you when they can buy the book?), you
might gain them. That's because authoring a book in your field raises your
credibility.
Many "traditional" publishers regularly work the lists of self published
authors to find their next big hit. Ever heard of The Celestine Prophecy (165
weeks on the Best Seller Lists), The Bridges of Madison County, and Chicken
Soup for the Soul?
How to Get Started
So, how do you start? First you need to have something to
say, and then you have to say it. If you need some help with this part, we
can provide a writing coach, an editor, a proofreader and even a ghostwriter.
Next, you need to decide how to get your book published. The traditional path
is to submit your manuscript to a traditional publisher. Unfortunately, even
with an agent, it can take months or years to sign a deal. Profits can be
uncertain, too. If the book doesn't sell well, you won't get much in
royalties. Likewise, big advances, especially for first-time authors, are
rare.
On the other hand, you can explore the world of self-publishing. You retain
all the rights to your book, you have complete control over the entire
process - from editing to production, printing and pricing. In this case, you
pay a fee to Dog Ear Publishing to design and print your book. We take care
of all the details and complexities of bringing your manuscript to life as a
book.
So, how about you? Is this the year that you're going to publish that novel
or how-to manual? If so, there's no time like the present. Why not grab some
paper and jot a few notes?
As one very famous dog once said "It was a dark and stormy night...''
