Money-saving basics for the self-publisher,
By A Customer
This review is from: Self Publishing Made Easy (Paperback)
A hard-working book for anyone who wants to publish a book. From concept to the bank account it's all here. How to do market research, format the book for success, sequencing the text, matching the book's contents to the most economic printing methods and, most importantly, how to market and publicize for maximum sales success.

Roadmap to Money,
This review is from: Self Publishing Made Easy (Paperback)
From accountants to Zamboni operators, "regular" people everywhere seem to be writing books these days. Few realize their chances of getting published through one of the major houses are nil to none, even if they are the new Hemingway or Steinbeck. As a freelance editor, it has been my harsh duty to break this news to every new writer I meet. I can now soften that blow by recommending they buy and read this book. On page 12, there is an anecdote about a woman who received only eighty-five cents of the $19.95 cover price of her book going through trade channels. After self-publishing, in two years she sold $800,000 worth on her own and pocketed half! Even if a new writer isn't "in it for the money", Carroll offers ways to attract readers and the "References" section lists some of the best sources available. Whether you have a completed manuscript or merely dream of writing a book some day, William Carroll provides an excellent road map, not only for getting your book into print, but for optimizing the likelihood of making money during the process as well.

Definitely for Beginners,
By
This review is from: Self Publishing Made Easy (Paperback)
I believe this book would be very helpful for someone who is just beginning to consider printing a book. It is simple and very detailed, and points out the time and effort it takes to get something written and printed. There is lots of practical advice.In my opinion, for those of us who have already ventured into the field, the book is a little simplistic. I hoped to get some helpful hints, but am finding mostly what I already know. So if you are new or just thinking about self-publishing, check it out!
