Free articles and advice for self-publishing a book. Also offering coaching and online book printing services. Know what options you have before you make a decision. Vanity presses charge to develop your book. You pay the bills, and get a royalty in return that will not cover the money you put into it. Like vanity presses, on-demand publishers, have cookie-cutter packages. They will promise "distribution" that's nothing more than a listing in databases. You give up your rights and will be luck to see more than a handful of books - including the ones purchased by you. At the end of the day, you will put more money in your publisher’s pocket than your own.
