How To Publish Your Book
Learn what you need to know...
for your greatest chance at success

EJ Thornton founded Profitable Publishing dba Books To Believe In in 1998 after first publishing her novel Angel On Board. Discovering there were precious few resources for the first time author, EJ decided to follow her love of teaching and became the 'teaching publisher.' Leading by example, she's taught hundreds of authors the principles of book design, book publishing and 21st centurybook marketing.

The REAL 'first-time author's curse' is INEXPERIENCE. What you don't know CAN COST YOU! And you don't know what you don't know until you become an educated publishing services consumer. Making you an educated publishing services consumer is the goal of this class!

Many people come to get publishing advice long before they even pick up the pencil (or type on the keyboard). Click through, if you are one of those people - still in the concept stage of your project...

Many people come to get publishing advice while they are still writing their book. If your book isn't finished yet, click here...

If you are finished writing your book and you need editing help, click here...

If you are finished writing your children's book and you need help finding an illustrator, click here...

If you are finished writing your book and you need help with graphic design or cover design, click here...

If your book is finished and you need to understand all the types of publishing and the pros and cons of each... You've come to the right website.

We'll talk about commercial publishing and it's strengths, weaknesses and how to approach those types of publishers.

We'll talk about self publishing and all it has to offer and all the things you'll need to know as both author and publisher.

We'll talk about print-on-demand, but we'll call it the digital press because the latter has less of a stimga in the industry.

We'll talk about e-book publishing and how and when you should do that along with a hard copy, in advance of the hard copy or in lieu of the hard copy version of the book.

We'll talk about free publishing. When is it a good idea to give your book's content away, foregoing royalties to be paid by a different kind of revenue stream.

Publishing is a very large and nebulous world and there are many ways to approach it. It is also an ancient business that has only recently come into the 21st century, so the old rules don't necessarily apply any more.

This knowledge comes from many years in business and also from an author's perspective. So I know how you feel. I've been where you are. I speak your language and I can help you build the bridge you need to cross to learn the publishing jargon that will help you succeed more rapidly than if you didn't know it.

There are alot of choices on this website, choose how you most like to learn... from case studies, from lecture, reading articles or comparing and contrasting... it's all here.

Then... please realize - publishing is the easiest part of the book writing process. Getting your book read (book marketing) is still on your list of things to do, so much of what you learn here will address that aspect of this business.

Enjoy,
EJ

If you are not yet well-known and no one knows the title of your book - then your future customers aren't searching for you on the Internet.

How do you get them to discover your book? It's easy. The concept is called Associative Marketing and publishers have been using it since time began to sell books. As an author, you also need to tap into the system so that you can significantly increase your book sales on the Internet. It is explained in great detail in the book Advanced Book Marketing.

It's not a matter of getting them to notice you and your book, it's putting your book where your customers are already searching for answers, and everyone wins...
