Those who love to write can attest to the fact that there is often a story going on inside their heads; complete with plot and developed characters that become as real to them as your own family and friends. It often comes to the point that if you don’t put pen to paper – or fingers to computer keys in this day and age – and get the story out the characters begin to rattle around inside your head looking for escape. The point is that writers – true writers – have to write; they have no choice.

But a written book does not necessarily mean a published book. Getting a book published requires dedication, patience, and a whole lot of luck. Often, in order to even be allowed in the door of most book publishers, a writer needs to be represented by a literary agent; another person that must first be convinced of the book’s potential for success. A significant waiting game ensues and often – when all is said and done – a book never sees the light of day.

For writers who just want to write – and don’t necessarily need to have their book published by the traditional book publishers – there is the alternative option of self book publishers.

Online self book publishers offer writers comprehensive websites where writers can upload their finished manuscript and make the book their own – where characters comes to life and the story can be told. Once the finished book is uploaded to the website, the writer can begin to make choices that will personalize the finished product. Such choices include the type of ink and paper stock they wish to use, the binding they prefer, and even the artwork and/or photographs they wish to include in their book.

With self book publishers a story can be told the way the writer wishes to tell it – without the input of traditional book publishers and literary agents.
