Post

It’s an incredible choice to publish a book and most authors look for ways to be immediately published by a major publisher.

Although the publishing by major publishers certainly presents benefits, there are downsides as well. Then you can determine to self-publish or get a publisher. This also explains what the goals are to be published. Let’s look at some of the benefits of every form of publication.

Self-publishing benefits

In some cases, self-publishing is the best way.

Try publishing yourself if:

You want to write your book fast. If, for example, you are a client individual or speaker who needs a book to raise your reputation, earn higher consulting fees or chat fees and sell something in the back of the room, self-publishing is by far the best way.

You have to get the book finished. Sometimes you have no time to wait years to find a literary agent, then an author.

You want to market your own book. Again, you get the most leverage of where your book is printed, and how much you earn from it, because your book is simply a way to improve what you are doing already.

Mainstream publishers don’t often split the books they purchase for sale to readers. With this you know the difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing.

Moreover, you are at the whim of their determination to repress when, and even what if.

Mainstream Marketing Advantages

Pay to post

The obvious advantage is that you are paid for writing the novel, instead of charging any costs in advance. While your anti-royalty advance may not be big, it is still safer than to spend the money yourself.

Know, however, the costs will remain, especially when it comes to marketing your book. Although some publishers still give you some marketing at the start of your book, the success is up to you.

The novel reaches the bookshops

Another big advantage: you access the libraries. While they pledge that they will, most printed-on-demand publishers do not carry you into libraries.

Read the language in a self-publishing deal carefully. Many POD publishers will not obtain any bookstore returns and bookstores will not stock their books because of this.
