How to begin in book publishing?

By George Dodson


It was once said by Edward P. Morgan that "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. Someone has to put what you have created into a form that others can enjoy. You might think that you will need a lot of space and equipment to get into publishing. Now days, this simply isn't the case.

Online publishing has gained immense popularity. You don't have to have that novel or self-help book published in print. You can put that work into the form of an e-book and publish that online. Many people can see your work. You can put your advertisements in popular sites like Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. There are many other sites that are not so prominent but do advertise your work just the same. There are many customers who generally come to these sites to know about books on sale. e-books are preferred by most of the people as they are cheap and more convenient. The y do not have to go to the store. They can order it and get it delivered to their doors.

What are the advantages? The cost is quite cheaper when compared to printing a book. There will be a site in the internet to publish your work. Millions of people can see your work. 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 do you go about publishing in this way?

You can publish your work on websites that are specially designed for such purposes. Ezine.com can truly be a perfect choice. If you want you can also start your own blog. You can turn your book in an e-book format and put in the e-book sites specially designed for it.

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.

If you are going to publish this way, you will probably want your own website to showcase your work. In this way, those searching for the subject of your work can find it fairly easy.

Going online for publishing your work can be quite sensible. Internet is popular among people 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.
