Book excerpt
A Conversation
I was standing around a group of friends when someone asked “You write books, don’t you?”
“Yes,” I replied, because I had, in fact, just finished my fourth fantasy novel. She was thinking about buying the series and reading it.
“Who did you publish with?” she asked.
The answer is always a little more complicated than I know most people are willing to talk about, so I hesitated.
In the split second it took me to think of how to answer, she kept talking.
“I have a friend who got published. It was so expensive! She had to pay a couple thousand of dollars to do it. A lot of friends and family helped her get the book she had written out there though.”
Wow.
Thousands of dollars to get her book published?
It was wonderful to hear of people who are so supportive that they get out there and help someone make a dream a reality.
But on the other hand, it was really sad to hear that someone had to spend that much just to get their book on the market!
This book is all about showing you that it doesn’t take thousands of dollars to get your idea published.
In fact, it doesn’t have to cost you a thing!
I’ve published a lot of books and talked with others who want to.
The main thing I hear from them is that they are prevented from doing what they’ve always dreamed of because of money, or time, or because they haven’t heard back from the fifth publisher they’ve sent their book to.
