Ottawa writers discover book self-publishing empowerment



Earlier, people used to regard book self-publishing as ‘vanity press’ and the phrase itself spoke volumes about the way self publishing authors were viewed. Such writers were considered "not good enough" to get a real publishing contract. They had to pay to see their book in print. However, such assumptions have become things of the past as the advent of technology has revolutionized the world of book publishing.

Print-on-demand and e-books have given a massive boost to the world of self-publishing. In fact, even a handful of writers have had huge best-sellers, which were published through self-publishing. These authors were not only praised by the critics, but they were also liked by the readers. The best part is that, these authors did not have to go through the difficult process of approaching traditional publishers.

According to an article published in NPR.org, recently quite a few authors like TV Blogger Alan Sepinwall, Hanna Brooks Olsen etc. have been able to gain a lot of popularity through self-publishing, and their books even became best sellers. If you are an aspiring author, you can opt for the book self-publishing service of a reputed agency like Agora Publishing.

As you can see, book self-publishing is no longer for vanity, and it has the potential to make your book a success. However, you will need to ensure that you only choose the services of a renowned agency like Agora Publishing. If you intend to publish the book all by yourself, you may not achieve the level of success you desire. On the other hand, a professional publishing house can help you in turning your dreams into reality.
