Writers alert! A book we all need is here. Anyone tempted to pooh, pooh that may be dissing a chance at success.
The Complete Guide to Self-Publishing is a book for writers who are new to publishing and those who aren't. It is a book for writers who are already published by big houses or little. It is a book for writers who are scared and trying to decide how to publish and where. It is a book for writers who want to have their books read.
Written by Tom and Marilyn Ross, the gurus of SPAN (Small Publishers of North America), this book's 521 pages is chock-full of up-to-the-times information on the publishing scene, on selling books, and on publicizing books. It has all the how-to nitty-gritty necessary if you decide to do it yourself.
If you don't decide to self publish, you'll still be glad you have this one under your belt; these days everyone knows that even if you land a big publisher, you'd still better be prepared to do almost all the publicity for it yourself.
This tome includes recommended reading, point-of-purchase suppliers, printers, catalogs, review sources, bookstore chains, and on and on. It also includes the dope on e-publishing. As a reviewer, I should be finding some flaw in this book, so you can believe the praise. Sorry, I just can't. I can only visualize what this might do for any writer's career. |

This book was recommended by another author getting ready to put his book together. As having been a self-published author, plus having a book currently in publication with a mainline publisher, I read with interest the steps Tom & Marilyn Ross suggest. One can never have too many reference books!
Although they mention to read the whole book through and then go back and pick out the sections that pertain to the reader, I found highlighting sentences or paragraphs as I go along works for me, then putting a sticker 'marker' on the page to take me back to it. The only problem is I end up with too many 'tabs' because this book is chock full of pertinent information.
If I had had this book last year at this time, I would have changed some ways I did my organization. Not only do the authors tell you 'what' to do they also mention 'what not' to do - very helpful, indeed.
This book covers every aspect of writing, publishing, and marketing one's book. It starts with the conceptive idea and takes you through each stage of progress. It covers the business aspect and all the 'hats' one needs to wear when doing it 'all yourself'!
It talks of pro's and con's, covers word substitution, working capital . . . you name it, and they tell it. The Ross's give you ideas you may not have thought of before.
This, of course, is only one book on the market dealing with this subject, but I found it to be a volume-packed addition to my book shelf! If you're a would-be self-publishing author, you need this book, too. |
