Once you complete writing your book, the next thought that worries you is how to publish it? You have heard about writers waiting for months after submitting their script to publishers, only to receive a rejection letter at the end. The cycle goes on for months, and many aspiring authors give up their dream of becoming a published author. But, you have received terrific reviews from family, friends and you know about the high quality of your script. So, how do you approach a publisher and convince them about the potential of your book?

Well, the good news is book publishing is not a complicated process anymore. With the evolution of technology, today you can self-publish your book and release it at your convenient time. You can stay in control over your story; decide the marketing channels, distribution partners and price of your book. The best part is you get royalty between 60 to 80 percent of the profit on every book sold.

Welcome to self-publishing

Before we discuss how you can self-publish your book, let’s first understand what self-publishing is.

Self-publishing is a popular way to publish your book. It’s an author-centric book publishing model, where the publisher facilitates the book to the market and allows readers to decide the quality. You get to stay in control and drive a team of specialists like cover designers, editors, and marketers. The services are paid, but you can complete your dream of becoming a published author within 6-8 Weeks.

Self-publishing has given successful authors

If you think self-publishing is new and people do not become successful authors this way, you might want to rethink.

Amish Tripathi, the author of Immortals of Meluha, Ashwin Sanghi, the author of Chanakya’s Chant and E.L James, the author of 50 Shades of Grey, started their author career with self-publishing after being rejected by traditional publishers.

Eventually, when people liked their book, and it reached the best-sellers charts, renowned book publishing companies acquired publishing rights.

But, what makes self-publishing possible?

Self-publishing empowers every writer to publish a book. Advances in technology power this revolution in the book publishing business. The invention of electronic readers (eBook) allows anybody across the globe to download your book and start reading in seconds and print-on-demand enables publishers to print the book according to demand and avoid maintaining huge inventory.

Ultimately the cost of publishing a book is reduced and everybody can afford to take a book to readers with the help of self-publishing companies.
