February Release Turn Your Blog into a Bookstore (Cont.) Excerpt: In today’s publishing environment, control is the name of the game. The author de- serves—and wants—control over everything. You want control over the price. You want control over the distribution. You want control over the cover. Finally, you want control over the editing and inside matter, including making sure all your books are listed. This is why many authors are self-publishing. Instead of giving up a hefty percentage (as much as 65% of the book’s cover price) to a publisher who may or may not do any of these things for you, you can keep all the money for yourself. It does cost money to self- publish. Good cover art takes either time and skills or an outside artist. Editing also costs money. It may cost money to publish the book, but when you take control, there’s a good chance you can earn a faster return on your investment.
