Self Publishing ideas and
why to self publish

          When we think of self publishing, we often think of the unknown author who is tired of collecting rejection slips, and is ready to tackle the publishing process.  In the past, this might mean going to a vanity publisher which could cost the writer thousands. 
          Times have changed, and authors have new, affordable options for self publishing.  Instead of sending off a manuscript to a vanity printer to be prepared for publication, a writer can format their own document, and upload that file to a print-on-demand printer, such as lulu.com.  Instead of printing hundreds or thousands of a first run, the self-publisher can order one book at a time. 
          A self publisher can use print-on-demand to market his or her book online, taking advantage of print-on-demand, where the book is printed and mailed out to the client once it has been purchased.  It is a new publishing world.
          But, there are others who might want to take advantage of self-publishing.  People who never considered publishing, who never wrote a book, may now consider self publishing. In a relatively short time, these people might hold in their hands a professionally bound, unique, one of a kind book. It is a creative way to make a special gift for someone you love.
          If you know how to use a word processor, you are on your way.  Our eBook, Self-Publishing Handbook,  gives step by step instructions in formatting your manuscript in Microsoft Word 2007. But, if you have earlier versions of Word, or use another word processor, you can adapt the information for your situation.
          Self-Publishing Handbook will hold your hand through the process, from the moment you begin formatting your document, showing you which pages you need (such as Title Pages and Copyright Pages), what pages they should appear on, how to number your pages for book distribution, up to the point you upload your file at lulu, and make your first book order. We will give you tips, telling you things you won’t find on the lulu website.
