New book on Amazon

good luck to u... pretty tough to get a book out in this century... care to comment on the writing / publishing process? many thanks
 
Yes, of course...
If you go via the conventional publishing house they will help and your books might end up in national store chains but you will make peanuts (I mean pennies per copies sold) and the house still expects you to promote and spend money on your own book as talks, signings etc. If you go via vanity press nobody is going to take you seriously so I am self-publishing. Actually I have tried lulu.com for a test run and print copies that I send out to editors and reviewers. I own 3 ISBN's and looking at some distributors and printers. I do not have my own cover yet only lulu's imprint.
My dilemma is my other title has lots of charts and I wanted to do it in color. So now I will have one color hard copy via lulu and one black and white soft cover available worldwide....go figure.
All in all I am learning the publishing and book selling business and I am having some fun.....
