Book Reviews: A Self-Publisher’s Companion

Author: Joel Friedlander

“Forget chasing agents, begging editors, and signing contracts that pay authors, on average, about a dollar per book sold. today’s authors are taking up independent publishing in a big way.“

Broad “A” is a published author, so she has first-hand knowledge of the work it takes to find an agent to take you on. She was one of the lucky ones, and it was a long time ago. Print on demand technology has made it so much easier for new authors to get their books into the hands of willing buyers much easier, and faster than going it the “old way.” Add to that the ebook phenomenon and you’ve got an even faster, less expensive alternative.

But, how do you know which one is the right choice for YOU? Between print and ebooks, there are still plenty of decisions to be made. How do you know WHICH of the self-publishing printers are the best, and how, once you’ve got your book in hand do you actually get it into the hands of willing readers? This book is filled with up-to-date information, lists and successes that will help guide the first time and even seasoned authors.

Joel Friedlander’s book is invaluable in setting the tone, and reaching his audience of the newly established and radically changing world of self-publishing. Digitalized printing creates an arena where the author does not have to invest tens of thousands of dollars to self publish. Add blogging to the mix and writers can be in front of their audience within minutes of creating their stories.

If you’re a budding author or even a blogger, this book will become your well worn companion.

A Self-Publisher’s Companion is available for purchase online and in stores.
