I have been thinking about publishing a book for over 25 years. And I still remember those early years when I sent out Query Letters to publishers big and small. At one point I sent out 147 letters by mail because we didn’t yet have email. I received 28 rejection letters and no replies from the others.
A few years later I contemplated something that was new then – self publishing. The cost was like $5,000 but within a couple of years it had dropped to just $1,000. By this time I just didn’t have a thousand dollars lying around but I marveled at how far we had come in allowing the ordinary author the ability to publish their own work.
What I didn’t know was that eventually the price would drop to Zero. That’s right the price today to publish your book is a big fat nothing.
I am not just making this up and I am not just promoting something. I literally just became a published author for the first time and it did not cost me a cent. Now let me be clear. I did decide to choose expanded distribution so that my book would appear in more stores. I didn’t have to choose that but I did and the cost – just $25.
The online software was extremely easy to use and I honestly believe that if you have a book that is begging to be published, go do it. The price has never been better. Click on the link at the top right and get started right now. It is so exciting!
