Has anyone ever told you that you should write a book? Have you taken a look a the arduous process it is to get a book approved and the rights purchased from an established publisher? Do you have a story to tell, but you only want your family to read it, or something that you want to share with just a few close friends? Welcome to the world of self-publishing. Self-Publishing has received a very bad reputation, being called "vanity publishing" and the like, but this author has published dozens of books ranging from instructional texts to children’s books. As a result of this distribution received an offer from an established publishing company to publish works with them. This is something that is explained in this book, along with a step-by-step approach to self-publishing through the Lulu website. The author has used Lulu for over 20 years with great results. He hopes that you will also have that success. That is why he is sharing as much as possible about self-publishing. Good Luck and Keep Writing!
