There are several reasons and ways to publish your book using Plan B’s self-publishing assistance programs. The reason we find to be the most important is that the authors have 100% control over the editing, layout, marketing and distribution of their books. Self- publishing also guarantees your book will be published and on sale, when and where you want it to be. Plan B Books is owned and run by a successful self- publishing author who can give you firsthand knowledge on what to expect with timing, cost and personal commitment. We are a small company but that means we are more flexible and dedicated to our authors than a large publishing service with hundreds of other clients.
Yes, you can and yes, it is. But self-publishing a book while trying to balance the rest of your life can prove difficult for busy people. The copyright process, assigning ISBN numbers, proofreading, editing, layout, cover design; all these things must be done before a book can go to the printers. You also have to shop around for the right printer, as well.
We are very affordable and have all the time in the world to deal with printers, cover artists, and whomever else you may need to help you get your book in print. We can also recommend graphic artists, illustrators and photographers to help your book come to life, or show you the best way we’ve found to negotiate and work with contract help.
Exactly. You choose how much of your own time and money you are willing to invest in your book, and we will take care of the rest. Publishing your own book is a very rewarding process, and we feel that an involved author is a successful author. You will be consulted on every aspect of the process, as well as having the final word on everything.
