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.

Great Reason to Self-Publish Two

Market Your Way-More and more publishing companies rely on the author to market books. Just look at the latest book covers and see which is larger the author's name or the book title? It's the author who sells books. As a niche professional, you have a built in market and your efforts can easily reach them. You know what works, so go to it. Many people are put off by marketing as I was when I first began. When a niche author serving in an industry with peer-customers, the last thing you want to do is bombard them with sales. Your role is the be the expert and provide answers. Cold calling is also not necessarily the answer in niche marketing. If you've developed a blog, newsletter or social media following, then you have your customer database. Your marketing efforts flow as you provide advice and answers to those following your posts, comments and articles. Many authors teach, speak, volunteer or are otherwise active in their professions. It's hard to remain o...

There, In The Jungle...an excerpt from Commitment-A Novel

     The sun painted streaks of pale blue and yellow through the morning sky. Birds were awake, singing to anyone appreciative enough to listen. The moon was full and bright as it still sat high in the western sky.      John listened intently. He was used to the sounds of the jungle, something he would actually miss. Gone were the distractions of machines. However, he prayed that they would soon be getting back to the plane that would take them back to their world–civilization.      Suddenly he was aware of something new–silence. The singing had abruptly stopped, but why? Birds go silent as a survival instinct, he thought. He listened more intently, as the ground would be soft, muffling any footsteps.      There! In the brush – a slight movement. He focused his eyes to one side of the dark, heavily vegetated area hoping to catch something in his peripherals. Behind about fifty yards, vines and branches moved...

Why authors might choose to work with a publisher instead of publishing themselves

  Why you might prefer to publish with another company instead of do it yourself. There are a lot of blog, newsletter, training and podcast information telling the good news about current publishing opportunities. Most tout the benefits of putting your own book on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). It is a great resource, but contrary to the popular discussion, it’s not the only option. It seems most information coming out seems to publisher shame anyone who does not “do it yourself”. It’s as if the expectation is to self publish and anyone who does not, is a publishing pariah. There are so many published articles describing benefits to putting your own content out though KDP, heck, even I do it. Most build entire businesses around the KDP instruction or consulting opportunities.   However, I’m more concerned with the author who just wants to write and publish their books without the hassle of the publishing business. The author who wants an outlet to make their book ava...
