Here's How You Can Publish Your Own Book

Do you dream of being a published author? It has never been easier – here’s how.

Do you know what Still Alice, the tearjerker film starring Julianne Moore as a linguistics professor diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, and Oscar-winning sci-fi drama The Martian have in common? They both started out as self-published novels and turned into blockbusters. With stories of brilliant authors like The Help’s Kathryn Stockett being rejected over 60 times by publishing houses before landing a book deal, it’s no wonder that there’s been an increase in the number of authors choosing to self-publish rather than trying to crack the nod from traditional platforms. Wondering if you can make money off it? E.L. James started her path to success by writing fan fiction online before she self-published her first e-book on Kindle, and turned it into a series worth hundreds of millions.

Consider the benefits of self-publishing an e-book

Don’t feel like hanging around hoping that a traditional publisher picks up your book? Rather go the self-publishing route for faster results, as well as loads of other advantages.

Newbie authors can compete on a level playing field with more well-known writers.

Self-publishing offers an advantage for readers, as they’ll benefit from lower prices and have access to more authors globally (amazon.com has millions of e-book titles).
