Self-Publishing has Arrived
By Jerry D. Simmons | May 28th, 2010 | No Comments » (Click to add yours!)

Publishing circles in New York often proclaim, tongue in cheek “When it’s written about in the Times, it must be true!” This makes the fact that The New York Times has proclaimed that “self-publishing has arrived” a true statement. However, the fact still remains that to gain acceptance as an author you must have a professionally packaged, priced and produced book to get the attention of the media since that is the only way to truly sell books.  

If a book looks self-published, the immediate reaction and perception is bad and that will not set the tone for what you hope to achieve as an author. On the other hand, if you produce your book to fit your category and look similar to other titles in a bookstore, you will have made the right production decisions. Readers and book buyers do judge a book by its cover, price, back cover blurb, book reviews and production quality. Mistakes will haunt you, utilize the skills of a professional publisher and you will not have to worry about making publishing mistakes.
