You have worked long and hard on finishing your book, congratulations! Now it’s time to determine the best way to publish your book. While there are many things to consider, the biggest question new authors have is whether to self-publish or try traditional publishing. Why you should self-publish:
- Your book gets to the market faster. Instead of waiting for months and sometimes years to get a book published traditionally, you can get your book published in less than 60 days!
- You have control over your book cover, your content, and the process. If you self-publish you are giving yourself total control over every detail of your book, so that your vision doesn’t get polluted. With Traditional publishing they decide what your cover looks like.
- You get all the royalties and copyrights. No one owns you or your book, you keep everything!
- You can make changes to the price any time you want. Not only can you set the price originally for your book, but you are able to change the price anytime for whatever reason.
- You can update the book whenever you want. You aren’t limited to the restrictions and processing of traditional publishing. You can update the content, cover, amazon descriptions, etc any time you want.
- You have complete creative control. You aren’t limited or restricted by the rules and regulations of a publishing house, you get to decide how you want things to go. At the end of the day, you get the final say. Always.
- You can connect more with your readers. You can create a better connection with others when you self-publish. To make sure others will read your book, you have to reach out people by marketing and through other methods as well. You create connections not only from promoting your book, but with those who can relate to your work.
- You can. The publishing game has changed, and there are no longer gatekeepers (traditional publishing houses) that you are forced to go through. Self-Publishing is something YOU can do. There’s no better way of providing a sense of purpose than to have self-published a book. You know that if you can do that, then you can do anything.
Notice that all of these first 8 steps begin with the word “YOU”. Self-Publishing means that you are in control. This is your book, and as the saying goes, if you want something done right—do it yourself. With that in mind, you are an expert in your field, but maybe not an expert in publishing. If you want to self-publish successfully, you need a team of publishing experts behind you every step of the way.
