About Self Publishing

 

Self-publishing is not a new concept. There are many examples of authors in the past who, tired of trying to find a publisher for their work, decided to go it alone. Today, with the publishing world having undergone some drastic changes over the last 10 years or so and becoming even more selective about the authors they want to sign up, key developments in technology, such as digital printing and the internet have encouraged a growing number of authors to look at other options and consider investing in themselves.

Digital printing has played the most important role, by bringing down printing costs and making short print runs the norm. Using the internet to promote and sell your book ensures a wider audience and another possible income stream.

Authors are often surprised at how complex the publishing process is and the number of pitfalls awaiting the unsuspecting! Zoë Meyer’s aim is to make the process as easy and as transparent as possible. She will ensure the very best is made from the material available and guide the client through, from planning the book through to delivery and post-publication marketing. No book makes any money if it stays packed in boxes under the bed! So there is lots to plan, decisions to be aware of, and many different stages to go through even after the book has made its appearance. All my clients have found it a fascinating process.
