Writers come in all shapes and sizes; they are not just the glossy pictures of well-known authors with lists of titles to their name; they are the tried and true enthusiasts that have writing in their blood but have never been published or the weekend poets who put pen to paper when they have a few moments of time. Being published does not make someone a writer; writing makes someone a writer. But there are far too many of us who think that in order to be successful we need be published by some big and fancy book publisher; anything other than that is an unequivocal failure.

Self publishing has changed the tune of many a writer, however. For those for whom the thought of packing up their manuscript and sending it vulnerable and naked to the book publishing houses in the nearest city makes them want to pass out, there are other options that are more controllable and certainly more predictable.

Self publishing – often available online where they make the process of learning how to publish a book, even if it’s your book, most convenient and easy – simplify the publishing process and make it accessible to whoever wants to take advantage of the service. Writers in all stages of their career, in all genres, with an idea for marketing hundreds of copies, or the desire to only print one, can find solace in self publishing efforts that will take them step by step through the process.

At the end of self publishing, it is most important to note, you will have your finished book – often just within days – with the cover you have chosen, the binding you have chosen, and the quantities you have chosen. And, for those who have waited so long to see it, their name listed as author.
