The Internet has utterly transformed many industries, bringing them into a new world where technology has a significant impact on their processes. The publishing industry is no exception to this as online resources have changed the way in which books are published every day.

Today, in fact, book publishing is often less about waiting for a traditional book publisher to respond than it is about making the decision alone – a decision to go ahead and publish a book that the writer deems worthy of printing. Self book publishers have dramatically changed the standards of the industry and put creative control back into the hands of the writer. Would it be a personal accomplishment and perhaps a financial coup to have a book published by one of the large book publishers? Absolutely. But the point is that it’s not the only option; book publishers declining a manuscript does not necessarily mean – in this day and age – that the book cannot, and should not, be published.

Rather, the industry has stood up and taken notice of the self book publishers; making room for the alternatives now available to writers. And writers have certainly taken note of the options available to them.

Through self book publishers authors can upload their manuscript to a secure website and choose those elements that are important to them in customizing their book; elements such as artwork, photography, and binding. Once the book is printed – at the quantity that the writer has chosen – the finished product is sent directly to the author.
