What does one have to do to start in the publishing business?

By George Dodson


Edward P. Morgan once said, "A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."

Books are published and not born. Someone has to put what you have created into a form that others can enjoy. You might think that in order to get into publishing, you need to have a lot of equipment and a place to publish. Now days, this simply isn't the case.

Online publishing has gained immense popularity. You don't have to have that novel or self-help book published in print. You can publish it online by making it an e-book. Many people can see your work. Advertisements can be put in sites like Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. There are several other sites which may not be that prominent but still you can think of advertising your work. They have a dedicated group that come to their site to look for books for sale. e-books are preferred by most of the people as they are cheap and more convenient. Visiting a store is not at all necessary. They can order it online and also get the delivery the next day.

What are the advantages? The cost is far less than having your book put in print. There will be a site in the internet to publish your work. Millions of people can see your work. They can read it online, use devices like Kindle or Nook Book or just get it printed.

How to move about publishing in such way?

One can publish his article online. Ezine.com is a very good one for that. If you want you can also start your own blog. If you have already written an e-book, you need to change it to an e-book form and put it on the e-book sites.

One of the good advantages of this type of publishing is that you can change content fairly easy. You need to stay committed to your version, once the book is sent for printing in the print medium.

You will probably want your own site to publish your work. In this way, those searching for the subject of your work can find it fairly easy.

Going online for publishing your work can be quite sensible. Internet is popular among people these days. They generally go to the internet for searching what they want. Because of this Amazon.com has become so popular. They not only make your search easier but also provides you result in an interesting manner.
