Frustration With Traditional Publishers Leads To Self Publishing

In 2007 my wife Barbara wrote a wonderful children's chapter book called Lottie's Adventure and begin sending it to traditional publishers. Despite some great preliminary reviews, all she got was rejections and lack of response. This was quite frustrating for her and I wanted to help.

We didn't have a lot of money to invest but I had read a lot about print on demand publishing and made up my mind to learn all about it and then publish Lottie's Adventure. It was a lengthy learning curve and I made lots of mistakes including the selection of a POD company that was more expensive than necessary. Nevertheless, we produced a high quality book and in spite of our lack of knowledge we sold quite a few copies of Lottie's Adventure.

After this success I realized that self publishing had potential for some of my own writing and began developing effective, efficient, and lower cost methods to publish the books that I wrote. Since then I have written and published seven books, several ebooks, established a publishing company (Positive Imaging, LLC) that has published twenty print books plus several more ebooks.

After consistently producing and marketing quality books worldwide I decided to share these proven methods in a this book covering every step from idea through book creation to worldwide sales. Please read on to learn more about this complete and concise how-to book.
