Book Self-Publishing: Get a Professional Opinion To Ensure Success
Technology
has made book self-publishing accessible to everyone. Unfortunately,
though, according to David Cornoy in CNET, 98% of self-published books
are very bad, 1% very good and only 1% excellent that can compare to
those published by corporate trade publishers.
The
mistake that most writers make these days is that they think that
writing a book is just about slapping together often poorly designed
covers over a manuscript which often has a "shitty" layout and very
casually done copy editing often still full of mistakes when published.
Writers
who want to achieve some serious sales and respect in the media need to
strive to produce the quality that David Cornoy asserts is in the 1%.
I
would strongly advise any writer who is about to self-publish their
manuscript to get a professional opinion from an experienced
not-for-profit book publishing organization like AgoraPublishing.com.
They have been helping writers produce high quality books.
Most
self-published writers sell much less than 100 copies because they use
self-help services like Create Space and Lulu which lack quality control
mechanisms.
