Whether you want to preserve a collection of cherished recipes for family members or write a marketable how-to manual, Self-Publishing On a Budget: A Do-It-All-Yourself Guide will show you how to gather the information and put it together into a properly formatted book. It includes advice on page layouts, editing, creating book covers, choosing a binding style, pricing, finding an affordable book printer, marketing and more.

 

Anyone can accomplish this task, and on a reasonable budget. What information have you acquired during your lifetime that you might share with others? Write about what you know—your life experiences, hobbies, travels or career expertise. Do you enjoy writing poetry or short stories? Maybe you envision writing a novel or your memoirs.

 

Self-publishing is fun, affordable and rewarding. Even if your goal is simply a cookbook for family members or an information booklet for business clients. The satisfaction of holding that finished book in your hands is well worth the effort.

Use these easy, step-by-step self-publishing tips to get your book published. Don’t pass up the opportunity to see your work in print.
