I’ll be teaching my online course on self-publishing this month. The course starts Monday July 23, 2013 and runs for 8 weeks. It’s only $160 for 8 lectures, 8 assignments and my undivided attention toward you and your project via email.
If you want to take control of your book project, self-publishing may be for you. Self-publishing, by the way, means that you establish your own publishing company. You put up all of the money, you make all of the decisions and you reap all of the profits. It is a process and I can walk you through it at your pace. If you complete the assignments early and want to move ahead, we’ll move forward and you will accomplish your goal more quickly.
What will you learn in this course?
Learn how to set up your publishing company, where to obtain an ISBN, when and how to apply for a copyright, where to purchase a valid barcode, how to locate and work with a printer, how to be included in Books in Print and more. What are the benefits of self-publishing?
• You’ll definitely see your book in print.
• You can have a finished product within weeks instead of months or years.
• You have the potential to make more money.
• You have all of the control.
• There are tax breaks to owning your own business.
• You are the best possible marketing agent for your project.
• Your book will keep selling for as long as you are willing to market it.

FYI, I established Matilija Press, in 1983. I’ve since produced around two dozen books through my publishing company. People ask me which publishing option I prefer. I tell them, it depends on the project. There are some books that would benefit from the connections and reach of a traditional publisher and some that the author has the platform, desire and skills to successfully promote on his/her own. Those of you who crave the backing of a traditional publisher, but who can’t get a foot in the door might get a publisher’s attention by offering proof of the book’s potential.
In other words, self-publish your book, heavily promote it and let the resulting sales speak for themselves to the publisher of your choice.
I’ve had several of my own books picked up by traditional publishers only after I self-published them and proved them in the marketplace.
Sign up today. It’s $160 for me to walk you through the steps to self-publishing your book through your own publishing company.
