For people who are still looking for a publisher, Amazon provides self publishing services through Booksurge. Booksurge includes manuscript development services, marketing and publishing. Publishing through Booksurge makes it easy to sell your self-published book through Amazon and other large online retailers. The Long GameEbooks have become an important way of self-publishing, because they are cheap to produce and can be delivered easily. Ebooks vary in length depending on the publishers' requirements and the type of ebook. Most ebooks have about 250 words per page. Short non-fiction ebooks might be as little as 24 pages (6000 words), while longer ebooks are often between 10,000 and 20,000 words. The best approach to deciding the length for an ebook is to read publishers' or self publishers' guidelines to see what length they recommend for particular types of ebooks. Does Book Size Matter?Paperback book sizes vary slightly, depending on where they are printed.

Social Book PromotionThe Internet has many new features that can be used for self-promotion. One of these is social bookmarking. This is like putting bookmarks or favorites online, where they can be shared with others. A key aspect of this is tagging, which means assigning keywords to the bookmarks. Each bookmark can have several keywords. This would work well for the sales page of a self published book. Social bookmarking attracts huge amounts of traffic to tagged websites, so it is an excellent way to get a buzz going about a new self published book. Free Self Publishing PromotionArticle marketing is an excellent way of promoting a self published book for free. It consists of writing short articles (400-500 words) and uploading them to an article directory such as EzineArticles.com or GoArticles.com. Each article has a resource box at the end, where writers can put links to the resources they want to promote. A good tip is to use the title of the book or the relevant keywords as a link that takes readers to the sales page for the book. Do You Copy?Ghostwriting is usually done as 'work for hire'. That means that the ghostwriter signs a contract to supply writing services to a buyer. The buyer owns the copyright and the buyer's name will usually appear as the author of the book. The buyer will also receive all royalties from the book. Some people share the credit with ghostwriters. In those cases, the author's name would appear as follows: [buyer's name] with [ghostwriter's name] or [buyer's name] as told to [ghostwriter's name]. When credit is shared, ghostwriters will also share the copyright and will receive some royalties for the book. |
