I’m writing an ebook about how to get a book written and I want to contrast self-publishing with trade publishing. Here are the lists so far:
Self-publishing:
If you want a ghost, you will have to find and pay
If your book needs substantial, you will have to provide
You provide copy editing, ideally by hiring a professional

Will self-publishing, which has become a popular way to see one’s book in print and a more acceptable method than in the past, see a decline due to Amazon’s apparent new policy? It appears that Amazon will only accept […]
Are you afraid to get your book written? That’s such a rude question! Yet I find probably one out of every four or five people who contact me about getting a book written are actually so afraid of the project it never happens.

Has self-publishing evolved or devolved to the place where it can be called a lifestyle? That’s the question asked at the Institute for the Future of the Book’s blog, If:book called: borders self-publishing and the idea of vanity
It’s an interesting essay worth reading and contemplating.
I’ve written an article sparked by the entry called Self-Publishing Or […]
Like everyone else who wants to get a book written, in addition to expressing myself, I also want to know, or at least guess, about how many books I’ll be able to sell. You’d think it would be simple, and it would be easier if publishers were willing to let the public know how many […]

But, even […]

I’ve known from the beginning I wanted to introduce and use some spiritual ideas, but I’ve been having real trouble expressing it exactly. So for maybe three weeks I’ve been drafting and deleting, reading and pondering. […]
Here I am, busily putting together a teleclass on how to get a book written. I think I know what you’d want in such a class. This morning it occurred to me it would make sense to as you:
What do you want to know about getting a book written?
What would you want in a teleclass?

Some of you know I’m developing a book and a class called Writing With Vision. I’ve scheduled regular writing time for this project but this morning I didn’t do much writing. Instead, I sort of stumbled into some new information or insights I want to present in the introduction.
