3月23日 MORE ABOUT PUBLISHINGOK, so I said I'd finished the publishing blogs. I changed my mind. I want to just talk with you about my experience with self publishing.
I really wanted to use Print on Demand for THIS PRECIOUS LOVE (HTTP://drjeannehounshell.com). It would have been so much easier. BUT, I would have had to sell my book for $25.00 to earn one or two dollars. I just didn't think that would work. So I had to go looking for something that wouldn't be so pricey.
So I self published. And as if that weren't going to be enough work, I learned that I couldn't do it in WORD. Now I had spent weeks getting it all set up in WORD just the way I wanted it to look. Now I had to learn a book design program (INDESIGN) and do it all over. I worked about 18 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week for 6 weeks to meet my printing deadline.
It isn't easy. It is extremely hard work. AND it looks great! I got a really quality book at a price where I actually can sell the books to bookstores and still have a royalty for me.
I am extremely proud of the job I did. Extremely proud of all I learned while writing and publishing THIS PRECIOUS LOVE. It's one of the most _________ experiences I've ever had. And I'll probably continue to publish my books this way.
In summary, if you're reasonably good at the computer, willing to work very hard, and want to retain all the rights to your book, this is the way to go.
I encourage any of my readers who have published a book, by whatever form, to contact me. I'd love to interview you or have you send me a guest blog so that my readers can get many different perspectives.
Bless you,
Dr. Jeanne
