Self Publishing

They say that everyone has one good book in them, however the difficulty in the past for most writers has been to find a publisher whose vision of a ‘good book’ matches theirs.

Traditional publishers are looking for the next blockbuster which will justify the costs of production, marketing and distribution of high volume book sales and very few manuscripts plied on them ever see the light of day as a published book.

On Demand Printing Proliferates

Today, changes in technology are enabling writers to use Self Publishing as a serious alternative to bypass traditional publishers and manage their own publishing career.

There are two main reasons for this change – Print On Demand and the Internet.

The advent of digital printing, where books are basically laser printed rather than ink printed, has meant that small numbers of books can be viably and professionally produced. Digitally printed books can also be printed ‘on demand’ i.e. when ordered, so saving inventory costs and avoiding unnecessary waste. The quality of digital printing has improved dramatically in recent years and it would be difficult for the average person to distinguish between certain digitally or offset printed books.

Unprecedented Distribution and Cost Savings

Once the book is produced the Self Publisher needs a method of distribution to reach their audience. The Internet provides a simple and inexpensive means of reaching that audience, whether local or global.
