getting a book published

Have you written a book? How can you get it published? There are 3 main ways:

 

1 Self-Publishing. Author pays expenses & controls all aspects of publishing & marketing.  Also called Indie [independent] or DIY [do it yourself].

 

2 Assisted Self-Publishing. A company helps the author self-publish. Such companies vary in what they do, how well they do it, & how much they charge. Investigate carefully before committing yourself.

 

3 Traditional Publishing. Publisher pays expenses & controls process in consultation with author.
