It seems that the more advanced technology gets and the more conveniences that are afforded to us year after year, the more complicated everything seems to get. While many programs and systems are put into place to increase our level of efficiency, they often wind up bringing with them their own set of challenges. For those of us learning our way around these new practices we are faced with some obstacles inherent in a learning curve. But then again, there are some new programs born from the Internet that make things simpler than ever – such as self publishing websites.

While there may be a great many of us who love to write – and even more of us that consider ourselves writers – there are very few of us who truly understand the publishing process. This is because the traditional book publishing process is essentially out of our hands. Writers – having completed their work – either submit it to a book publishing house or engage the services of a literary agent that agrees to represent the book. In either case we are well separated from the actual process, and in most cases new writers are eventually turned away.

With online self publishing, however, writers can fully engage in the book publishing process from the beginning. And the process through which they go is extraordinarily simple to say the least. The simple steps associated with online self publishing include:

- Uploading the finished book manuscript to the secure self publishing website.

- Making choices specific to the final manifestation of the book including binding type and the ink and paper stock the writer chooses to include.

- Deciding on the photography, illustrations, or artwork the writer wishes to include in their finished book.

- Determining the number of copies the author wishes to print.

Once these steps are completed the writer will receive their books at their doorstep within a matter of days.
