10 points before you Self-Publish
I promote 'Self-Publication'. But many writers are blindly following the 'herd'. And the number of books getting published are increasing at higher rate than rate of human population.
This Explosive Increase (Not in India at least) in the Quantity is because' Writers' are too much excited to become 'Authors' and they compromise with MOST important aspects which I am mentioning below.
Kindly read and prepare well before your Self-Publish.
1. You know that you really have a fantastic
content
Tip: A Fantastic Content has High emotional appeal for readers or ability to satisfy their Want in the words they want.2. Your manuscript has gone through MANDATORY steps
Editing, Proof reading, Corrections, Perfecting Grammar and sufficient sessions of improvements are of great importance. you can ignore them at the cost of your success.3. You have at least 15 reviews from Serious Readers
IF you are a Serious about writing and want to Earn Name and Fame by your writing then there is no substitute to this point.
Advice:
Do not give your manuscript ‘only’ to your loved ones if they are not Well-read. Their love for you may not give you a Critical Review about your writing and improvements to be done.
4. You are ready to invest ‘Time and Money’
For publishing and Distributing your E-Book lot of time (for Typing and perfect Formatting) and money (staring with your laptop's electricity consumption or Data charges) will be consumed for sure.
But your LOVE for writing and Your PASSION for publishing your DREAM book is worth of some of this uncompromising aspects.
5. You have knowledge of
Formatting
This goes without saying. Formatting E-Book (printed book too) is the most important. As size and type of device of is going to vary with different readers from Smartphones to dedicated e-Readers (We eliminate the Laptop and desktop reading of E-Books- hardly anyone does that now a days).
Therefore to maintain uniformity of the content and best reading experience for your readers 'Perfect' Formatting is must.
You can Do IT Yourself (Mail me to receive EBOO's Simplest Guide for Making an E-Book) or you can find E-Book Formatting Expert (probably me).
6. You do not find Right Publisher
Right publisher in today’s world will be the person who has good knowledge of E-Book industry and can send your E-Book to Most of the distributors for online sell.
7. In lack of Profitable
deal/services
If your Publisher is not offering a Profitable deal in terms of Royalty or kind of services offered by him are something that you can Do it Yourself then opt for Self- Publication.
8. You have good negotiation ability (power)
For being self publisher means You will deal with Graphic Designers, Formatting Experts, distributors, marketing experts and so on so A good negotiation Ability will be the Boon for your pocket.
9. You have a good social
network
