Ohhhhh, times are a changin' I am telling you. Gone are the days of us writers pining for agents and publishers to validate our talents through the signing of near profitless contracts!

Now we have the ability to craft our own future with our own hands— literally! We can become our own publishers. How amazing is that?

Yesssss! Gone are the endless submissions, rejection letters, and doctoring our work to satisfy someone else. Finally, we are in control!

We should not—and do not—have to be degraded or condemned for it either! Yes! Welcome to the Self Publishing Haven where your unique creativity will be valued, respected, and held in the highest regard.

I am a writer/editor who has been down that road. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Obsessively checking my email to see if my manuscript had been accepted—and for what?

So someone could virtually steal my well-deserved income?

So someone could tell me I do not have enough potential readers?

So months, and maybe years could pass by, while the message and story burn a hole through my heart? Never again!

Of course, some writers are destined to go with a traditional publishers—and that's fabulous! For them!

But for those of us who have not been so lucky—because there is, no doubt, a major element of luck in the submissions process, regardless of what others say—we do not have to watch our dreams shrivel and die a slow death.

Arise, my fellow scribes! We are in the middle of a word war! Wait no more! Join me in the publishing revolution, and let's show them we don't need them—that we never needed them! --------------------- What's In it For You?

On this web-site, I've done a lot of the leg work for you.

I've spent the last several years in forums and online researching self-publishing full-time, talking to teachers, and reading books so I could do it myself.

Everything you find here is information I have personally encountered on my self-publishing journey to assist you through yours.

Because I am a writer, my goal first and foremost is to make sure you self publish a professional quality book, at minimal cost.

On this self publishing website you will find everything there is to know about:

1. Ebook Publishing: including creation, formatting, even distributors for online self publishing.

2. Publishing on Demand: which includes hardback and paperback book production, and what you must know and do.

3. Self Publishing Services: Including where you can get great information and personal suggestions.

4. Marketing your Books: including what to do and what not to do if you want to be successful publishing online.

5. Ereaders: including user reviews and where to get the cheapest ones.

6. Writing: (my favorite topic) providing what courses, websites, books, and other awesome finds will benefit you most, whether you are a novice or seasoned author.

7. Featured Authors: A section where self-published authors can feature their books. I want to help sell your self-published books for free so contact me!

I've been in some writer's forums where debates go on ad nauseuam about why people shouldn't self publish.

I'm here to tell you, don't listen to them! Everybody's doing it! Why not you?

Okay, okay. Although I am really gung-ho about the topic, self publishing is not for everyone. However, the information on this site will provide you with enough information to know if you should skip it or go for it.

I want this to be a place where you can participate and share what you have learned also, so look for those invitations where you can join in and help others too!

Just say YES to self publishing!
