Debunking Publishing Myths
03/14/2007: Debbie Jordan, Arizona City News, Zwire.com
"When I tell people I'm taking the self-publishing route, they often
wonder why I don't look for a regular publisher to accept my books.
They think that publishers treat all writers the same. The fact is,
until they became successful, authors who are now household names
struggled just like the rest of us. And as famous as they are now, they
still don't have the freedom that self-published writers do."

"Self-publishing companies offer authors an à la carte menu of
services to choose from, such as editing and illustration, distribution
and marketing assistance, and covering legalities such as registering a
book's ISBN number. 'For about $700, you can have your book up and on
the market in less than 30 days,' says Smith of AuthorHouse."

When is a Book Not a Book?
01/31/2007:
Press Release, S. J. Miller Communications, BookPR.com
"Almost anyone can self-publish a book, but the difference between
creating a potential book (one that can be ordered if anyone ever hears
about it) and creating an actual book (one that people are actually
reading) is knowing what to do after your plans for publication are in
place."

"It used to be that the only way to get a book published was to gain
the backing of a large publishing house. WIth many more choices
available to get works into print, bookstores are turning to more
self-published works to help offer customers a broad variety."
