Did some light research today, regarding self publishing. I'm a realist and I know it's a difficult thing to get published in this volatile economy. I, however, am not a patient person and when I feel my book is ready to be shared with the world I don't think I'll be able to bide my time for the day that a major publisher decides to pick it up.
I will definitely send some copies of the manuscript around, but once I've exhausted my list of preferred publishers I will then pull the trigger on publishing the book myself with the help of www.createspace.com
I just found out about this company and I'm excited about the possibilities. The company is technically an Amazon company. So what better way to release my book than the worlds best online book seller?
A great feature about this website is the community. One thing I've been tossing around in my head was figuring out a safe way to share excerpts of my book and get honest feedback. I've only shared the manuscript with two people so far, but I know I will need more if I am going to create something with any chance of being commercially successful.
There is still much work to be done before I cross that bridge, but at least I know I have options.
