Have you ever thought about self publishing? It used to be very difficult and costly, but thanks to modern technology just about anybody can publish their own work.
Years ago, if you wanted to publish a book and you couldn’t get a publisher to do it for you, you had to go to a publishing firm and offer to pay the costs. Setting up the machines to publish a book cost a lot of money, and typically you’d have to buy a large number of copies of the book. That put publishing out of reach for many people, and for those who chose to go this route, the business risks could be large. If the book wasn’t a hit, you’d be out a lot of money.
Thanks to computers and the internet, the situation is much different today. There are companies which can print very small numbers of books for cheap. All you have to do is send them a document in a format suitable for printing, and they’ll process your order and send you your books. Often they can print for just a few dollars per book. This puts printing into the realm of possibility for even very small publishers. In fact, if you want to publish a book for a very small audience, you can even do that.
Another option to choose is to distribute your book through an ebook service like Amazon’s kindle library. Here, the distribution costs are even smaller. In fact, Amazon will pay you when somebody orders your book! This is a great way for self published authors to make a little extra money.
