Need a Publisher?

We do technical writing if you need help in this area, but if you are interested in publishig you have several alternatives today:

  1. Traditional - Publishing your book through a traditional publisher. Most are good at editing, marketing and distribution. I’ve made big money on this route.
  2. Vanity - Paying to have the book published. This works if you are speaking and traveling a lot and can sell the books as you go. As a large quantity is printed at a time, the cost per book is low. You are taking the risk.
  3. Online Publishing - You email your book to the publisher. They print them in small quantities. Startup costs can be about $500. You market and distribute, but they do put your book in the distribution channels and you see it on Amazon and other online bookstores.
  4. e-Books - You print your book to an electronic form using a program such as Adobe Acrobat and save with a password. You then sell it from you web site using PayPal. There is no publisher - you keep the entire sale price.

I’ve used all three of these in publishing books. For more infomation on how they compare check the comments.
