If you have always dreamed of becoming a published author, your dreams can now be realized through self-publishing. Self-publishing is the way that many writers today are choosing to get their book out to the public. It is not the same as it was years ago when you had to spend thousands of dollars to publish your book. You can self-publish a book for as little as $500 or less when you choose a good self publishing service online. When you self-publish, you do not need an agent to help you get your book to the publisher. It can be very difficult for someone to break into mainstream press with their book without using an agent as some mainstream press companies will only work with writers agents and, in turn, most agents will only want to work with a previously published author. You then find yourself in a catch-22 situation which is why self-publishing is extremely attractive. Even if you did manage to get a book published by a mainstream publisher, you would still have to market the book on your own. Because so many people today buy books online, self publishing is quickly becoming the publishing form of choice for authors writing fiction and non-fiction.
