How does one get started in book publishing?

By John Bennet


Edward P. Morgan has said, " A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. He also added, "It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."

Books are actually published and not given birth. For others to enjoy, someone needs to give what you have created a form. You must be thinking that in order to get into publishing you will need a lot of equipment and also enough space. Nowadays, the picture is completely different.

Online publishing is all the rage. Publishing your novel in print is not necessary nowadays. You can publish it online by making it an e-book. Your work will be seen by millions of people. Advertisements can be put in sites like Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. There are several other sites which may not be that prominent but still you can think of advertising your work. They have a dedicated group that come to their site to look for books for sale. They would rather buy in e-book form because it is cheaper and more convenient. There is no need to go to the shop. They can order it and get it delivered to their doors.

What are the special advantages? The cost is far less that printing a book. You can find a site on the internet where they will entertain your work. You can have your work seen by millions from around the world. If they want it in print, they can print it themselves or they can just read it on their computer or some device such as a Kindle or Nook Book.

How to move about publishing in such way?

One can publish his article online. Ezine.com is a very good one for that. You can also start writing your own blog. If you have a book, you can put it into an e-book form and offer it on many of the e-book sites that are designed for that.

The main advantage of this kind of publishing is that you can make changes in the content easily. In the print medium, once your book goes to print, you are committed to that version.

If you are going to publish this way, you will probably want your own website to showcase your work. People might find it easier to search the subject of your choice.

It is quite a sensible thing to go for online publishing. Internet is popular among people these days. They generally go online for searching for their needs. That is the reason Amazon.com is doing so well. They not only make your search easier but also provides you result in an interesting manner.
