Self-Publishing An E-Book

Of course, going the long way of writing the book, deciding on a few agents, and sending out query letters before repeating the process a few times may be too long for you. You want to see your amazing story in print now. For those who wish to avoid the hassle of finding an agent and publisher, you can publish your own book. In this day and age of electronics, self-publishing is accepted more and more and may be a good way to set up getting an agent. Someone who has already sold a lot of self-published books would already have proven there is an audience for him or her and would be an easier person to represent than an author with only a few articles published.
It also may be the easiest way to get published. Now a days traditional publishers are having more and more trouble selling hard copies but self-published ebooks still sell. I can’t pretend to be an expert on this ever-changing topic so here is an excellent article on the self-publishing world as far as e-books. It also has a link to his article on traditional self-publishing a paperback book. I do plan to look into self-publishing something soon so I’ll let you know what more I learn but for now, enjoy the article and keep writing.
