Writing Mastery

Get Rid of Writer's Procrastination and Put Your Words to Work For You Now with: Writer's success. This is 100% No Risk to You

So you’ve written your book – or you’ve got a great idea together – and you’re looking for a craft book publisher, right? That’s what you need, isn’t it? Someone to print and distribute it? It might take you months or even years of searching to find one who’ll publish your craft book, and they’ll want around 85 to 90% of the cover price in fees, but what alternative do you have?

Well actually, you can do it all yourself. If you’ve got the ability to write a craft book you have more than enough skills to publish and sell it. In fact you’re almost certainly the best person to do it. After all, nobody knows more about your book than you, do they.

What’s more, not only is everything under your control but with digital craft book publishing you’re not in a position of giving up 90% of the money, you’ll be the one pocketing that much!

So you’re thinking that publishing requires a big investment? Nope. The very computer that you write your craft book on becomes the publishing platform too. Turning it into a digital book is simplicity itself and can be done with software which is free. For distribution, a blog is simplicity itself, yet technologically advanced and ranks well in the search engines. What’s more they cost pennies to run. Within a week or so of starting it can be you who is the craft book publisher, selling to the world day and night virtually on auto-pilot.

After the initial set-up phase all you’ll need to do is check your bank balance!

So you’re thinking it can’t be that easy, right? There must be more to it than that.

OK, there’s a bit more detail, and nobody can tell whether your craft book will sell a thousand copies or a hundred thousand, but your home computer really can be the heart of an international publishing system and you really can do it remarkably cheaply and hugely profitably. One of the great bonuses of being your own craft book publisher is that all those royalties that come in year after year go into your pocket, not someone else’s. Royalties have long been one of the great attractions of writing. You do the work now and get rewarded again and again, long into the future.

So with all this on your side it really ought to be you publishing your craft book, didn’t it? I mean why would you want to give all that money to someone else when you could be stuffing it in your own pockets?
