Most people self-publish now. However, you must be ready to put in the work of creating awareness online and offline to drive traffic for your book.

Thank you, this is great information about traditional publishing. I find self-publishing is very easy to do, especially creating an e-book. The only downside for self-publishing is the marketing and distributing physical books to book companies.

Yes, that's right. The publication of a book can provide excitement for its publishers. And his talents are likely to improve as his customers read the book. But if he never publishes his/her writing, I believe it will not make a difference for him/her.

When I start reading about all these folks discussing, while within themselves harbouring these dreams of publishing a book and so forth, I forgot about what I really want to write about and lose my track!

Patient is a must if you want to publish a book. Also, having wider connection within the industry will surely help you find a publisher easier. I just hope I have those connections..

I have not been involved in this act of publishing books. But I think that to publish one's book, meeting a very good publishing agency would suffice a lot more. Both publishing and marketing are very vital parts.

Book publishing is a very important part of your book. And to do that, I think one needs a good publishing company that would help in that area. After writing a book and people don't see it, what then is the need of writing it in the first place?

I always wanted to publish a book related to my personal experiences, although I even wrote the draft I wasn't sure what next step to take and I was lacking in some parts. so, I talked to one of my friends he suggested me to hire premium book writing services namely gnome book writing as they take care of each and everything form editing to marketing your book. I approached them and I was out of stress and satisfy with their work.

It is certainly possible with some effort and persistence.

Everyone has inside him/her own world, it may effect on us by our appearance or personalities and some of us are choosing to hide it in the depths..!
Here iam "rose" the college student, didn't explore my world yet, helping some people to explore their own ocean and touching hidden secrets of the depths of others too!
But despite of this i didn't explore "my world" yet!
Maybe i have or don't, but i still on the surface and believe that when i will be ready to go to the depths and explore my own hidden secrets, i will have two chances not only one,,
Because i might be already drown here or there...

I too want to have a book published. This post has helpful points in it. My book is written, has been personally edited, critiqued by others and I personally know a lot about writing. But it will need a professional editor. Naturally. At this stage, I would like to be mentored. This looks to be the place for this. Am enjoying the BOTD.

Hello!
I am new to this site, and I came upon this topic!
Interesting insights. Thanks for sharing!
From what I understand, self-publishing online is possible. I assume the advice in this note is mainly for paper publishing?
Thanks
