Synopsis
Many fine books exist that explain to authors how to self-publish. Make Money Self-Publishing shows them how to make money doing it. Readers are introduced to the publishing world and its jargon in Chapter One, Self-Publishing 101. Then the following chapters introduce readers to a variety of small publishers. They range in age, marital status, physical location, subject matter, and favorite marketing approaches, but they are all profitable. Readers will discover how to start their business on a shoestring if necessary (Chapter Seven), sell tens of thousands of cookbooks (Chapter Three), or plunge into the world of e-books (Chapter Fifteen). The appendices supply contact information for printer and self-publisher associations across the country, recommended books, useful web sites, and more. Particular topics can be found easily and quickly by referencing the comprehensive index.
About the Author
Suzanne P. Thomas is the self-publisher of Rental Houses for the Successful Small Investor as well as Make Money Self-Publishing. Although at the time she wrote Make Money Self-Publishing she didn't qualify to be one of the profiled publishers (her arbitrary requirement for publishers was to net at least $20,000 per year after expenses from their publishing or else to sell the rights to their self-published books for amounts in the high five figures or better), she is doing much better now (she'd easily qualify for her own book). She plans to include her personal experiences in her next self-publishing book. She intends to release a Colorado romance in the beginning of 2002, to be followed by another real estate book. After all, fiction is fun, but the non-fiction usually (but not always) pays the bills better.
