Anything Goes : Question by Michael Bryan

Question

When publishing a book, what's the best route to use for first time authors?

Geoff Hall

Michael Bryan Hi Michael, many use the self-published route or find a boutique publishing service. It pays to pay for a designer to create the cover, because many fall into the trap of buying off the hook, generic covers, but that undermines any sense of your work being seen as unique. It’s almost a sure way of not standing out in the marketplace.

I was published by a boutique publishing service, paid for the designer and also for the formatting into an ebook. If you don’t like ebooks and are a paper geek, then Lulu.com offer an on-demand printing service.
