Why Self Publishing Is Not A Scam PDF Print E-mail

Self Publishing ScamBefore reading further, one important thing needs to be understood … this is the difference between self-publication and subsidy publication. Two entirely different and independent concepts that have become inseparably linked to one another but that could not be more different. With subsidy publication parading under the perceived guise of “self publication”, it has given the very word “self publication” a dirty connotation. Adjectives like “scam”, “trash”, and the like have become synonymous with the industry.

But here’s a fact you probably don’t know: companies don’t self publish books for you, and what’s more, they can’t. Subsidy publishers publish material only after they have received payment for the entire ordeal, from the author, which is essentially “vanity publication”. No traditional publisher will never place an ad in the paper calling for manuscripts, so when you see that, it’s usually a sign that a subsidy outfit’s behind it.

Writing Books That Pull Readers In PDF Print E-mail

When writing on topics like business, you need a “hook”—something to pull your readers in—practical knowledge and information. Of course, this applies when you’re writing for other fields as well. The paragraphs below will help strengthen your existing manuscript or give you inspiration for your future projects.

1. Focus on one topic
The last thing you want to do is deluge your reader with too much information. Jumping from one subject to another will not only make the book difficult to follow but will cast a bad light on you, the writer. Rome wasn’t built in a day, after all.

Google ebook store

With this addition to their already immense internet presence, you will now be able to browse and search through millions of titles. Google, in fact, holds the world’s largest selection of eBooks. Through Google’s e-bookstore, you will also have hundreds of thousands of books for sale.

Writing ideasWhen you sit down to write, where do all the ideas go? Especially the ones you thought of only 15 minutes before. They went to Idea Land. Sometimes they will return, and sometimes they won't, so you need to learn how to drum up more writing ideas.

Ideas are all around you in real life. Read the newspapers. Listen to the news. Search old newspapers, rename the people, and lift out some of the information to make your own story. You could sit in a restaurant and eavesdrop on other people.  Imagine all sorts of things according to what you hear. Or stand in a crowd and do nothing but listen. Life is full of weird things.
