A Professional Self Publishing Plan Provides Many Advantages

By Robin Skinner


There are gifted writers all around the world. These writers' work is often not acknowledged by the public. Reasons for this are mainly as a result of a lack of buy-in from reputable publishers as well as a lack of financial support. Such writers can guarantee that their labor is recognized by the public by means of self publishing.

This happens when authors prints and distributes their work without the aid of large book organizations. This is done primarily to make sure that their work is seen by the public eye. In this process the author takes total charge of the selling procedure. This extends to all the matters related to distributing a book like setting up of a pricing plan, designing the book, marketing the book, printing it, etc.

Taking this direction allows the publishing process to take place over a smaller period of time. This is due to the fact that the writer does not have to deal with delays often caused by being aligned to a big firm. In some cases authors have waited long periods to get their work published by a big book firm. This is often as a result of the big publisher giving preference to other authors' work.

This process allows for more control on the part of the author. More artistic control is allowed as the writer is allowed full say with regard to the design and publishing of the book. The author does not have to succumb to the whims of a big book organization and thus has freedom to design and print the book in a manner that the writer wants.

Greater financial control is attained. The authors ensure that all rights to the book belong to them. More money can be made from the book in the form of foreign-language rights and television rights, and this money won't have to be shared with a publishing company.

An author needn't be an expert when it comes to the various facets that combine to publish a book. The author can delegate work to businesses that have expertise in particular fields. A business can be tasked with an aspect like marketing and the author can take care of the rest. The writer will work closely with these experts to guarantee that expert advice is received and used in conjunction with the initial ideas for the book.

This sort of publishing is prevalent and has established a huge following on the internet as can be seen with the advent of the 'e-book'. Certain websites specialize in assisting and exposing writers' work as means to give new writers access to the writing world. This has proven effective as many writers have made use of this platform to catapult their writing careers. As the work is published online immediate feedback is received and writers get an instant sense of how to improve their work and do better in future.

Up and coming writers are given a chance to show their writing ability as a result of self publishing. There is less reliance on big printing firms and authors are in a position to empower themselves. New writers are also exposed and welcomed to the exciting world of writing.
