How to Publish a Book

Learn how to publish a book through Write and Publish Fiction's extensive information and resources. Whether you are planning on taking your story to a publisher to do the work for you or you plan on self-publishing it, there isn't a whole lot of work to do.

If you self publish your work, you will have to do all of the work, or arrange all of the work to be done for you. I publish all of my own books and it's really not as difficult as it sounds.

Now there are some things that writers find hard such as editing their own writing or making a book cover, but the formatting of the book is very easy with a simple word processing system. What you see is what you get.

If you are going to submit your book to a publisher, they want your story in a certain format so they can easily convert it to the format they want for your book. That can take more time to do, but you won't have to worry about the book cover and editing as much.

Be careful with vanity presses that promise to help you "self-publish" your work. You will pay a good fee to have your cover made and to have them format your book, and the DON'T generally edit your story. You must have this done first before submitting your story to them.

Also, when going through a publisher other than yourself, you usually give up all your writes to the book for a set amount of years. With self-publishing, you will learn how to publish a book that you have complete control over and can republish it if you find errors in it. The downfall of doing it all yourself is limited access to book store databases and such - it's more difficult to sell your books once they are published.
