Are you an author with several of manuscripts taking up space on your computer that no one seems to want to publish? Is the mailman filling your mailbox with rejection letters?
Are you tired of those cute little rejection letters that tell you how great your manuscript is, but just isn’t what they are looking for? Well if you are tired of banging your head on the wall, read on. Your life is about to change, and for the better!
If you haven’t figured it out yet, submitting your books to publishers is like whistling in the wind. If you have been submitting your books to publishers then you're fighting an uphill battle. According to John Locke, a self published author who sold a million eBooks in 5 months, he states “The general public has been conditioned to believe that if you are a self published, your books don’t measure up.”
So Ask Yourself “Are Your Books Worthy Of Being Published?”
Of course they are. Did you know that publishers try to make you feel like a second-class citizen? Book publishers are looking at their bottom line so they are very selective before they agree to publish your book. Do you think they are going to take a chance on you by printing up 3000 books that they don’t know whether they will sell or not?
The competition to get a book published by a book publisher is extremely fierce and for every book that is accepted there are probably thousands more that are turned down. Face it, you are just one of a huge number of authors looking to get published by one of the major publishers and more than likely, it ain't gonna to happen!
Take Matters Into Your Own Hands
•How would you like to see the mailman deliver money instead of rejection letters?
•How would you like to get all of those books on your computer published?
•How would you like to quit begging editors to look at your books?
•How would you like to quit rewriting time and time again to jump through some editors hoop? (Who probably has never published a book themselves).
•Instead of waiting 2 years to get your book published, how does 30 days sound?
So what's the answer? Well if you haven't been completely stuck under a rock the last couple of years, there has been a major upheaval in the publishing world. “Times, they are a changin.” Self-publishing has come of age.
It does take some gumption, but writing a book takes gumption too. So if you have gumption….you qualify!
Every day, more and more authors are self-publishing their books. They don’t need an agent, they don’t need a publisher, they don’t need to rewrite again to please some editor’s idea, and most importantly, they get to keep the profits. They don’t have to share the profits with anyone.
Digital eBooks have arrived!
So what has changed? Surely you have noticed that e-books are now very popular. This past Christmas season, Amazon was selling 50,000 Kindle Fires per day. Go anywhere where people have to wait in line such as driver license bureau or the airport, and look what they're doing. They are reading on their their Kindle, iPhone, Droid or a Smartphone.
You Can Do It Yourself
If you have a computer, you can publish a book yourself and it doesn't require much money either. E-book publishing is now available to everyone and with a little study you can do it yourself. If you don’t want to do it yourself, you can hire someone to do it for you, and very inexpensively.
You aren’t just limited to ebooks either. If you want a physical paperback you can do that too. Using print-on-demand, where a book is only printed when it is sold, you can sell physical books and your costs are very minimal.
Now Comes The Tricky Part….
So what should you do now? Well a good start would be to start investigating self-publishing. This book gives you an overview. It's not the be-all end all to getting your book published but it should open your eyes to the possibilities.
