![]() ![]() The RBWG is offering three social media/publishing classes that will help writers bring their publishing dreams to fruition. ![]() For those who are venturing into the Do It Yourself Publishing model for the first time, it helps to take a class. The process is actually fairly straightforward, even easy. In part, this is due to the quality of the writing, but it might also be due to the fact that the cost of truly doing it yourself is exponentially cheaper, and authors retain much more control over every aspect of their book, including price. These numbers are exponentially better than the self-publishing average of anywhere from 10 to 100 copies. These authors include Rich Barnett, author of "The Discreet Charms of a Bourgeois Beach Town," which in its first three months sold more than 1,000 copies and continues to sell well and Revere Reed, whose first novel, "On A Dime: Senseless in Lewes” sold, in its first three months, hundreds of copies, more than 300 in one local store alone. This is exactly what a number of Rehoboth Beach Writers’ Guild members have been doing, quite successfully in the last few months, by using the publishing tool CreateSpace. In fact, authors are often better off not spending the money and publishing their books themselves. Nor do they need to spend the hundreds of dollars that so many self-publishers charge for their publishing packages. More and more, writers do not have to go through traditional publishing channels to publish a great book that also sells well and looks beautiful. ![]()
