Book publishing advices for aspiring and known authors? Find a Good Book Distributor: Distributors vary widely in price and services. Print-on-demand services like First Edition Design Publishing are some of the most cost-effective methods of distribution for self-publishing a book. Instead of paying to have hundreds of copies printed at once, your book is only printed when it’s ordered. In addition, First Edition Design Publishing’s distribution reach to online retailers and physical retailers is unmatched.
Contact newspapers: Write a press release. This is usually a one-page article about you, your book or the subject matter. You’ll want to hook a reporter’s interest with a strong opening paragraph, and make them want to know more. Print advertising: Have a professional designer create promotional pieces to assist in marketing such as bookmarks with your web address or phone number, business cards, posters, flyers or brochures.
Write a lot, now. As Hugh Howey, author of the best-selling Wool series, explainedone of his self-publishing tips in a post on his website, he didn’t get to work right away promoting his first book once it was published. Instead, he just wrote more and more: This is going to sound strange, but you are MUCH better off with your 10th work exploding than your 1st work. You’ll never have quiet time to crank out quality material ever again. And when your backlist matches the growth of your first breakout, you’ll do very well for yourself. Be patient. It’s been said by many others, but I’ll repeat it here: self-publishing is a marathon, not a sprint.
