SELF-PUBLISHING IS NO LONGER A DIRTY WORD


The digitization of media is changing the way we share information, music, photos, and our social lives. Why shouldn't it change the way we read, write, and publish books? Today's writer has more choices than ever. You could go the traditional route, find an agent, and make it to bookshelves everywhere. You could self-publish and create your own literary empire. Maybe you'd rather write for pleasure, put your work on the Web, and enjoy a little internet fame. - webook home
