The best way to publish your book (In my opinion)


You know how there are so many book publishing options? I help authors publish their final manuscripts by helping them take control of their work.

After writing and publishing many, many books, I have come to the conclusion that publishing and managing books on Amazon is currently the best option and for a few very good reasons:

  1. It is free to publish your books on Amazon. As a publisher, I've used many print and publishing services, and Amazon is the only one that I'm aware of that will let you upload and publish for free.
  2. You can publish an ebook, a paperback, and an audio book.
  3. Since it's free, you can update book content and covers any time. It's almost instant..
    • You want a new cover? Upload it
    • Need to correct an error or update book content? Upload it
  4. All you need is an amazon account and you are capable of being a publisher. It's really all there is to it.
    • Your publisher account is tied to your amazon account
    • Your author page is tied to your amazon account
  5. Amazon.com is the book store more than 70% of book buyers go to
    • That means you can market to people already there. No need to direct traffic cause it's already there. Just take them by the hand and show them your book.
    • If you have good keywords, you can set up excellent ads to reach them.
  6. You'll have full control of your book
    • ​​​​​​​Read sales reports
    • Publish ads and control how much to spend
    • Focus your ads on the right market
    • Keep all of your money (minus Amazon fees)
    • Control price of your books
However, this may not be easy for you to do yourself. Some publishing tasks are very difficult and takes a lot of practice. Not need doing it yourself.

If you have a complete manuscript and are looking for help publishing your book, I offer many ways to help navigate you through the process.
Some of the techniques I used could help you put your book on the market and become a best seller in its category.

How will you publish your book

  You can publish your book yourself, or publish with others. There are so many options available depending on how much work you want to put into the process. Writing a book is a great experience that can help you further your business opportunities. Publishing with it’s many requirements and resources could prove to be more work than you want to do, especially if writing is not our primary business.   Self-publishing provides an increasingly valuable method of getting information to your audience. With self-publishing, you can write, outsource the printing, and market your book while controlling the process. This type of publishing can be done with very little money up front and, if done right, creates a great source of revenue. If you plan to self-publish, you will need some basic items and information. Books should have copyright protection and each book sold through distribution channels will need International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN). However, with Kindle Direct Publishing (K

Self-Publishers, Pay Attention to Detail

CreateSpace is an excellent self-publishing solution. I primarily use Lightning Source for most of my publishing needs, but there are some advantages of printing with CreateSpace as well. Primarily, books are listed “in stock” at Amazon.com and CreateSpace stores if printed with CreateSpace. My Lightning Source books are available on Amazon.com but usually not listed “in stock”. Thus, I often make my books available for print with both Lightning Source and CreateSpace. If you chose to use one or the other, or both, make sure your title information, ISBN and other book administrative details are accurate and listed the same in both venues. Without that level of detail, your book manuscript and cover submissions may not be approved. Additionally, if you try to link your printed book with an Amazon.com Kindle version, or your paperback with your hardback version, it may prove difficult if title information details vary too greatly. For example, my manuscript is entitled Red Bike Publis

LCCN, PCN or CIP? How to Catalog Your Self-Published book

Catalog options mentioned here are available only to United States  (US) publishers with offices and staff in the US who are available to answer  bibliographic questions about their books. The Library of Congress  Control Number (LCCN) Catalog in Publication (CIP) are two  well known catalog systems. The CIP provides free distribution of prepublished and further distribution of completely published books to libraries  and book vendors world-wide. The PCN provides an abbreviated  record but is not further disseminated to libraries on the same scale  as the CIP. Here is a secret. This book is primarily written for nonfiction authors  who want to self-publish a professional book available to specialized  organizations or professionals. It will most likely be available through  Amazon.com and other on-line bookstores and distributors. This is  the widest distribution effort and your best marketing source. You will  most likely use print on demand and rely on word of mouth, social ne
