Writing A Bestseller!!

Rate: 0 Flag

So, okay, the book is just about done, I'm in the final editing process.  It's due to iUniverse in two weeks.  Thereafter, I will need to choose a front and back cover, acquire an ISBN number, discuss fonts, and marketing plans.   It's not my choice, but what has to be done to get a book "out there."  It's my second time around at this; the first book was more of a success with me than it was in the book stores.  But that's okay.  That it now sits on a shelf in my local library was a thrill in itself.  I'll write from time to time about this publishing process.  If anyone wants to share the ride with me, log in, let me know you are out there.  I'd love the company.

Good luck with your book! As one who also self-published, I know how lonely it is and how difficult it is to get noticed.

I wrote a post about the future of self-publishing. You may want to check it out.
Thank you, thinkfeel, for your comments......I will check it out. How do you feel about writing for open salon? Does it get you noticed? Or is it simply an outlet for your musings?
