In the past, there were two ways to get published

The traditional route. Agents, publishers and rejection letters. Lots of rejection letters. Suffering the slings and arrows of those alleged guardians of the publishing world. The faceless representatives who in the past and in their wisdom rejected Agatha Christie for years and JK Rowling potentially for ever, had it not been for a young girl convincing her publisher Mum to bring the rest of the first Harry Potter book home.

So, this first way is very much a lucky lottery.

Then there was Vanity publishing. Write your book, pay a lot of money to get some copies published, then become a sales person. Taking your book ‘door-to-door’ like a second-hand vacuum seller in the hope of finding someone to buy it. Struggle to sell them and normally end up with hundreds of paperbacks languishing in a store cupboard.

But now there is a new way. Write your book and have it globally available for all to see and purchase, using Publish On Demand (POD) technology. No agents to get through, no permissions to be gained, no boxes of books waiting to be sold. But POD needs your manuscript to be edited and your cover to be well-designed. It needs your interior pages to be well-formatted. It needs accounts established, especially for the best marketplaces including for E-Book, the likes of Amazon’s Kindle* and for print copies, harnessing the global distribution power of IngramSpark*. Self-publishing can be a difficult road to navigate, it can be tricky, fiddly, time-consuming and frustrating.
