The
Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time
Living
Peter Bowerman
Fanove Publishing, 2006.
Landing
a publisher has never been harder. And authors who do can count
on anemic royalties, 24 months to publication, giving up book
rights, and handling most of the marketing themselves! But,
thanks to the Internet, self-publishing is more viable and potentially
lucrative than ever before. This acclaimed "how-to"
by the author of the award winning Well-Fed Writer
titles shows you his specific strategies for self-publishing
success (i.e., 50,000 copies of his books in print, and a full-time
living for five-plus years!). Check it out at www.wellfedsp.com
