Why You Should Self-Publish Your Book

We all want our opinions, our advice and most importantly, our life’s work to sit on someone’s book shelf. Most of the writers are inspired by this to take action, to publish a book. So why not self-publish? After all, self-publishing is a simple (and effective) way of promoting your work, at an affordable cost.

Many authors struggle with valuing their work, which they often perceive to be unworthy of publishing. This negativity is often prompted when traditional publishing houses turn down books. For these publishing houses, books are business, and if a book does not make business sense, it won’t be published. Many authors who value their work, take up self-publishing.

But if you feel that your work isn’t up to scratch, let me give you these facts:

• If there is something you know, and are expert in, chances are someone else is looking for that knowledge or information.
• If you have a story to tell, chances are that there is someone looking forward to reading that story.
• If you have the enthusiasm to write a book, chances are that there are many self-publishing companies that can help you publish it and realize your dreams.

Outskirts Press is one of those companies. If you think you can write a book, and if you are looking for the right guidance – be it editing, book marketing or even advise – then Outskirts Press can not only point you in the right direction, but also give you the impetus that your dreams need.

The truth is, we all think our book should be out there. So really, if you know something that I don’t, chances are that I will read what you write.

So do you want to self-publish at an affordable price?
