There are a lot of options for publishing these days. The ones I list are meticulously researched. I hand-picked them for you because I trust the source. Please be aware that, as in any other industry,  there are both reputable and disreputable publishers. Please do your own due diligence before making a publishing choice.

I am not trying to produce a comprehensive listing but merely get you thinking about your options.

AWOC Books Dan Case, owner of AWOC Books was my first publisher. He is a small publisher. Publishing is print on demand. Cost per book is commensorate with what you would expect to pay for a short run of books. YOU the author keep all your rights. Be sure to review the types of books he publishes to make sure what you want to present fits. Don’t expect much in the way of editing. Dan is a good guy and very fair.

Who Promotes Your Book?

No matter whether you self publish or go to a traditional publisher, YOU DO!!! Get used to it! You’re not John Grisham or Dan Brown. Never expect anyone else to believee in or promote your book more than YOU.

I have a separate page to help you promote your book.
