There are four significant
differences between traditional and self-publishing:
1. No one pays for producing your self-published book. You have to do it yourself or pay for editing, designing, printing, and publishing.
2. No one markets your self-published book for you. You have to let the marketplace know your book exists or hire a publicist to help. You will most likely need to do that if you have a traditional publisher as well.
3. No one takes or fills orders for your self-published book. You have to handle transactions and delivery yourself or work with a printer, small press, or publisher who provides the services.
4. Yes, it's possible, however, to make greater profits on each copy sold if you know how to leverage your writing success.
There are many different ways to self-publish from on-demand publishers to creating your own publishing company. Let Claudia Gere & Co. help you select the printing or publishing venue that gives you the best options and price for meeting your publishing goals.
