About Self-Publishing

1. What exactly is self-publishing?
The process by which an author has undertaken the expense of getting his or her own book published. This widely accepted and fast-growing segment of the book publishing industry allows the author to retain more control over the production, marketing and profitability of the book.

2. What kinds of books do you publish?
We are ready to publish your fiction, non-fiction, children¹s book, autobiography, cookbook, educational manual, and more.

3. Why should I pay to get published?
The commercial book publishing industry is saturated with authors competing for a limited pool of publishing dollars. Thus, many first-time writers are overlooked or rejected by large publishers, regardless of the quality or potential of their work. Proactive authors are choosing self-publishing as an alternative route to make their work available to readers quickly and easily.

4. What kind of investment is involved?
