There are few things in this world as magical as being able to create different worlds, people, and stories through the tip of a pen. But how do you get your story out to the world? This is where you need to start thinking about how you are going to publish your book. Normally, there are two options available to you: self-publishing and going through a publishing company. Both have their pros and cons, so here are a few things you should know when publishing your book:
- Publishing Companies:
If you want to get your story out to the world or make a living off of the book you have created, then you will need to consider finding a publishing company. These people will take your book, print it out in the thousands, send them to bookstores across the planet, and market it for you. You will then receive royalties per book sale. However, the problem with this method is that it can be difficult. You will have a lot of competition trying to get the attention of these companies, so you will need to have connections, a mind-blowing story, and someone that can help get your foot in the door.
- Self-Publishing:
Self-publishing is a great option for people who have a lot of resources or are just looking to print out a few copies for themselves and their friends and family. Basically, when you self-publish a book, you will be handling everything from producing more copies to having it distributed. If you have plenty of resources, this can be a great way for a first-time author to get their stories out to the world. If you are someone who just wrote a story to share with your friends and family, then this can be an easy and affordable way to get your story in print.
Another form of self-publishing is turning your book into an e-book. This is a very efficient way to spread your story, without having to invest in physical copies.
Those are just a few of the many things that you will want to keep in mind when you are planning on publishing your story. If you would like to find out more about this or about how Bookwhip can help you, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us anytime.
