A New Way To Self Publish
by Anna Kathryn Bir
More and more good authors are turning to the Internet to
self publish. There are several reasons for that. All of
them are probably well know to every writer by now, so we'll
not go into them here. What we'll talk about here is a new
way to self publish.
Everyone has, by now, heard of ebooks. This is a wonderful
way to publish on the net, but it requires special programs
to empliment it. And there are web sites that will do all that
for you for a fee. But what if you simply can't afford it or
you don't want to pay anyone?
This idea I've come up with may be out there in left field,
but out in left field is where you usually find the great
ideas. Here is what I found.
Create a credit card account somewhere first. Pick any company
you are comfortable with and doesn't cost a great deal. After
that is all set, put your novel on your web site, create its
own page, and use the ariel font. Use size 10 for the main text.
Your title and chapter headings can be larger.
Write an intro page for your novel and create a separate page for
it. Here is where you'll put any illustrations you may have. So
people will have an example of your writing, copy and paste the first
chapter of your novel and put it here, too. Also on this page will
be the link to your credit card payment company.
The next step is to set up your credit card account to connect
with the novel page after your customers have paid for it and
then they can simply print out the novel or copy and paste it
to their Word or Works program that is already on their computers.
This is a simple and yet effective way to self publish and it does
not cost you anything, either. Out in left field, I know, but hey.
Anything to survive, huh?
