WHERE CAN I PUBLISH MY BOOK? (PART 2)

Let’s illustrate this point further. Do you know Jerzy Kosinski’s THE THIRTY – NINE STEPS? Yes, one writer had that best – seller typed, and submitted, as a manuscript by a new writer, and waited for an answer. And what reply did he get? All trade publishers rejected it. All agents told him, “no way’”. And to worst experiment, Random House which originally published book, threw it out as an insignificant book. Yet, this was a National Book Award Winner.

Even, some other best- sellers were “randomly” rejected. Like THE JUNGLE by Upton Sinclair. Like Thomas Paine’s COMMON SENSE. Like MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION by Lloyd C. Douglas. Do you now understand what I mean when I say you should not go to them? But you have another chance.

Subsidy Publishers Also known as private or commission publishers, subsidy publishers are a better choice; if you can pay to get your book published. And they pay higher commission or royalties, than trade publishers. They include Vantage Press, Minerva Press and Avon Books.

WHERE CAN I PUBLISH MY BOOK? (PART 3)

Did I say exciting? Yes, of course. The world had been dragging until some whiz kids got their magic boxes together and said: “Let computers be connected!” And there came Internet. And dot com bomb. So, at touch of button, you have world at your feet. Isn’t that exciting?

You, writer has so much to gain from Internet. You can do your research there, read all kinds of books, and do ultimate –- publish on Internet.

I am not going to do a dissertation here because I do not know so much about subject (pardon my ignorance.) I even understand that there is going to be a “new” kind of Internet, soon (pity me.)

The first thing I will tell you though, is that dragons live there. The second is that many dot com companies are closing shop. And third is that there is no hidden secret to success in net than hard work, as in real life. (Is Internet not real?) The fourth is that Internet is your shortcut to success. Do you want to find out? Why not visit experts as you read on.

Two publishing opportunities are open to you on Internet. What are they, you may ask.
