Self Published Reviews

Hello. Welcome to Self Published Reviews. This is the official blog for my business. I am in the business of helping self-published authors get the exposure their works need. I do this through marketing and the reviewing process.

Not too long ago there was only one way to get published. You had to submit your work to a publishing company. They may or may not look at it depending on what kind of work you submitted, the genre, and if you had ever been published before. Most of the time you never heard back from them, and your work was sent back to you or not at all. If you had the money you would pay for an agent with mixed results.

The financial and economic climate has caused many publishing companies to be wary of new talent. Most publishers do not want to put all the money it takes to publish a work into new talent because it may or may not pay off for them.

However, there is new market emerging in self-published authors. Some of the expense of publishing a work is placed on the author. The payoff, though, can be greater for an self-published author than a traditionally published one.

There are many benefits to self-publishing: authors generally keep all rights to the work, they getting a greater percentage royalty, and they can go with another publisher at any given time. There are more opportunities to customize your work, and bring it to a wider audience if you so choose. In short, you have more control over your work, but it also means investing in your work.

You have obviously invested your time when writing your work, laboring long hours, doting on every word to make sure it was just right. You chose to self-publish. You invested more than your time, you also invested your money, and you now have a book in front of you. You felt victorious, and pride swelled within you. You now look to market your book to others and get a return on the investments you have made.

That is where Self-Published Reviews comes in.
