How Does One Begin In Publishing?

By George Dodson


It was once said by Edward P. Morgan that "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". He added, "It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."

Books are not born; they are published. For others to enjoy, someone needs to give what you have created a form. You might think that you will need a lot of space and equipment to get into publishing. It is not the case nowadays.

Online publishing is all the rage. Publishing your novel in print is not necessary nowadays. You can put that work into the form of an e-book and publish that online. Many people can see your work. You can put your advertisements in popular sites like Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. There are many other sites that are not so prominent but do advertise your work just the same. A lot of customers search their website for books. They would prefer to buy e-book as it is convenient and cheaper at the same time. The y do not have to go to the store. They can order it and get it delivered to their doors.

Millions of people can see your work. if they want they can take prints or read it in their computer or use devices like kindle or Nook Book.

How to move about publishing in such way?
