There are many books telling you how to self publish your book for less than $100 or virtually free. They recommend CreateSpace or IngramSpark. Or Smashwords for ebooks. You can do that, but you will get a book that will look like it was self-published and not a professional product that will compete with books from traditional publishers.
William Allan’s new book will tell you:
– Why you need and how to get professional editing, cover design and page layout,
– Where you can publish your manuscript,
– And get online distribution for as little as $245.
– It also tells you which three publishers offer extensive marketing and promotion with every proposal they issue to novelists.
– 25 ways to market your book.
I guarantee you that if you follow the ideas in this book, you will enter the market with all the prerequisites for success already firmly in place.
You will be preparing to market a book people will want to read rather than a book they will be sorry they purchased.

” ‘How to Self Publish Inexpensive Books and Ebooks’ is a one-stop resource for getting your work out into the world. It offers concise step-by-step instructions on editing, layout, cover design, choices for printers and publishers, and marketing strategies and associated fees. Highly recommended!” – Literary S. – 5-Star review.
“If you were to type ‘how to self publish inexpensive books and ebooks’ in the Google search bar, you would spend weeks or even months trying to figure out what option or publisher to settle for as a writer. I wish I had this book in 2014 when I was getting into self-publishing. The author does a great job of compressing information on publishing ebooks, from the publishers, their rates and pros and cons of any option … this has been such an insightful read. P.S.: Did I mention that it’s also short? Like he does not want to bog you down with unnecessary stuff?”- Dora Archie O. – 5-Star review.
“Do not waste hours or even days of your precious time googling information on self-publishing. All you need is this novel. It cuts right to the chase and gives you all the information you need to be able to self-publish that book that has been sitting on your computer waiting … As I am beginning my very own novel for the first time, this book will be incredibly helpful. I will be coming back to it many times to reference.” – Cassandra W. – 5-Star review.
