By Lance Winslow
Have you ever wanted to write a book? You can you know, others have. Well, that's obvious especially if you go into a large bookstore and see all the isles of books for sale. Someone had to write each one of those, think about that sometime; why not you? And while you are thinking about it; why not now? That's right, why not start today, as the sooner you begin the sooner you will finish.Once you finish and edit, you are going to want to get your book published and you might consider self-publishing. Then perhaps you might wish to go around and promote your book and/or sell your book online to interested parties. Self publishing does have some advantages especially for a first time author without huge name recognition.
For instance; you get to keep all the profits, well if there is any. The biggest drawback is you have to market the book yourself and if you have never done that before boy are you in for a huge amount of work and often a huge let down for new authors getting started, but there are a lot of techniques and tricks of the trade to learn that will help you.
And there are companies like iUniverse and small presses that can assist you if you need a little help the first time, yes they take a chunk of the money, but they also are very good at what they do. So if it is your first time out, then you may wish to consider this. 2009 is your time to get published, don't wait, just do it, you'll be fine.***
