This book will help you sort out the misstatements and misunderstandings. It will guide you from your first word to your first sale. It can help a frustrated writer make a quick and painless transition to become a less frustrated writer and publisher. Independence from England in the 18th century led to the establishment of a vibrant and strong democracy in the United States, where "anyone can be president." In the 21st century, independent self-publishing, made possible by new technology, has led to a democratization of publishing where any writer can be published. Anyone with a few months and a few hundred dollars can publish a book that looks just as good as books published by the companies that have published books since the 19th century. For better and for worse, all creative people now compete on a level playing field, and the ultimate judges of quality are readers - not the gatekeepers of traditional media businesses. Writers are often unable or unwilling to have their books published by "traditional" publishing companies and decide to "self-publish." Many of them use the services of a "vanity press" or "self-publishing company" or "print-on-demand company" or "subsidy publisher" with the thought that the writers will become self-published authors. They're not. They're not self-publishing. They're really just customers of companies that make most of their money by selling services to writers, not by selling books to readers, and they give up a lot. If you're not the publisher, you are not a self-publisher.
