Self Publishing and Printing

I chose to self publish my book In the Presence of Angels for the following reasons:

1. Traditional publishing houses have downsized tremendoulsy in the past 10 years, making it even more difficult for a new author to be picked up. By choosing a self-publishing company, I took control and will soon be a published author.

2. Traditional publishing houses now require their authors to do a great deal of the marketing themselves, and so having to market my book with the self publishing process is not a detriment.

3. Authors relinquish much of the creative process to their traditional publishers. I have been and will continue to be in complete control of the writing process from what I choose to say to making the choice of what font and format to use. The entire process has been mine, as will be the entire responsibility for the book.

The down side to self publishing is that the author pays to have his/her work edited and printed. To me, that money was well spent. I did the research of self-publishing companies have been pleased with the results.

The printing will begin on Monday, March 17th. The process takes from two weeks to a month. I'll be notified, and in a week to 10 days I'll receive the first copy of the book. At that time, I'll post information about obtaining a copy of your own.
