GET PUBLISHED WITHOUT GETTING RIPPED OFF
(Publish Your own book and keep all the profits)
 
  
On this Website you can do four crucial things:
 
(1) Uncover the secrets online publishers don't want you to know.
 
(2) Self-publish a quality book at a reasonable cost (and maintain complete control).
 
(3) Bypass vanity publishers* and self-publish your book without signing a contract.
 
(4) Or...you can  GO FOR THE GOLD (a book deal with a traditional publisher).
 
A vanity publisher* will not let you use your own ISBN to self-publish your book. They want to assign one to you. There is no such thing as an "assigned" ISBN. If they provide the ISBN, it is not yours—it's theirs and you will lose money.
 
Buy your own ISBN and kick vanity publishers to the curb. You can publish your book without sacrificing quality, without signing a contract and without breaking the bank.


This Website is chuck full of self-publishing help. If you don't find the information you need, email me and I'll find it for you at no charge.
 
We won't publish your book at JC Publishers because you can learn how to publish your own book on this Website. (If you want personal help through the process, it will cost you about the price of a meal for two at your favorite fine-dining restuarant.)
 
We provide money-saving information to help you professionally self-publish and print your book  (with the same printer online publishers use—at half the cost).
 
I can direct you to the few publishers who will treat you right and I'll steer you away from publishers who will help you max out your credit cards with unnecessary services you don't need. 
   
If you dream of a contract with a traditional publisher:
 
 I'll critique and help you tweak your query letter, then look at your
book proposal and offer suggestions.
*(Included with paid personal coaching service)    
 
 *Personal coaching service ($50) includes personal help  beginning with your manuscript in Word to finished books shipped to your door or...I can show you how to properly pursue a book deal with a traditional publisher.

You will also learn which publishers to avoid and which publishers will provide affordable, professional publishing services without requiring you to sign a contract. I will help you safely navigate what Ron Pramschufer calls "the self-publishing minefield."
 
 
                  *If I don't save you serious money, I will gladly refund every penny. I really enjoy helping new authors avoid the vanity press trap. (Average savings, $500)

A good place to start your research is:
 

The Should I self-publish? page. It will give you a quick overview of your publishing options. I lean toward self-publishing.

Read why at: Traditional Publishing Vesrsus Self-publishing.
 
Read the simple steps to self-publish your book on the How to Self-publish page.

Then go to
First Things First
and take the first step on your journey to become a published author.
