Recommended Websites for Self Publishers

Warning!

We strongly recommend that all self publishers have a professional editor review and critique their manuscript. You can find a listing of freelance editors at the Publishers Marketing Association website.

They will tell you if its good or bad and will fix any obvious errors.

You do not want to waste your money printing a book that you can not sell.

Warning!

The hardest job is selling what you published.

Warning!

Wholesalers and online bookstores want a 55% discount and free freight. Retail stores want at least a 40% discount.
