How Does One Begin In Book Publishing?

Edward P. Morgan once said, "A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face". He added, "It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."



Books are not born; they are published.  For others to enjoy, someone needs to give what you have created a form. You might think that in order to get into publishing, you need to have a lot of equipment and a place to publish.  It is not the case nowadays.


Online publishing has become popular now. You don't need to publish it in print. You can put that work into the form of an e-book and publish that online. Many people can see your work. You can advertise it on such sites as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. There are several other sites which may not be that prominent but still you can think of advertising your work. A lot of customers search their website for books. e-books are preferred by most of the people as they are cheap and more convenient. There is no need to go to the shop. They can order it and get it delivered to their doors.

How do you go about publishing in this way?

You can publish your articles on websites that are designed for that.  Ezine is a very good one for that.  If you want you can also start your own blog. If you have already written an e-book, you need to change it to an e-book form and put it on the e-book sites.
