In today\u2019s article she shows us how to put the self in self publishing. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>Are you a parent? One great sadness in my life is not being able to have children. They say the first time that you hold your own baby is a memory that never leaves you. I always imagined myself being a mother and was very upset at the thought of not having that vocation of motherhood in my life.<\/p>\n<p>In the light of that you may appreciate what a tremendous joy it is, at 41 to realize that I do in fact have a calling. Maybe calling isn&#8217;t the right word, but I&#8217;ve found my thing \u2013 there\u2019s no doubt about that. <strong>Writing has brought me more joy and fulfillment than I ever dreamed possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>So you\u2019ll understand why I\u2019m so excited at the thought of holding my firstborn \u2013 my first published book.\u00a0<\/strong> I should have a copy of \u201cThe Long &amp; The Short of it\u201d in my hands next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publishing was not something I planned on and I certainly didn&#8217;t intend to go through the tremendous amount of work that I know authors do, to get their book in front of agents and publishers.<\/strong> So self-publishing was a perfect option for me. I was very fortunate to find a new company in Ireland providing what I would call\u2026 Self-publishing PLUS or \u2018Assisted Self-publishing\u2019 \u00a0if you like; and that company is called Emu Ink.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I would have had to pay an editor, pay for my book cover design, arrange ISBNs, get the file ready for epublishing, get it up on Smashwords or somewhere like it, then get ANOTHER file made for the print version.<\/strong> Then there\u2019s the promotion (which you will know that even the most successful traditionally published authors have to do a certain amount of themselves). Then there\u2019s negotiating with book stores, distributors, the press releases, the launch, more promotion and on it goes\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emu Ink did all of that for a fixed fee; and a very reasonable one at that.<\/strong> And to top it all they are also a digital lending service; so my book goes into their online lending library and I get a % of the lending fee every time my book is \u2018borrowed\u2019. They have helped me find a great print-to-order price for the paperback and for a very modest fee will deal with distribution of the paperbacks for me.<\/p>\n<p>With these guys I have the best of both worlds. In fact I reckon I have the best of about 7 worlds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you decide to go down the self-publishing route make sure to look at all the options out there.<\/strong> There are plenty of companies who will \u2018edit\u2019 you manuscript and process an efile for you. I suggest you do some research, shop around to see what services are available to you. See if you can find a company that goes the extra mile. <strong>I know for certain that Beth\u2019s own website<a href=\" www.bethbarany.com\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0www.bethbarany.com<\/a>\u00a0has a host of different services.<\/strong> From working with her, I&#8217;ve seen how dedicated she is to serving and encouraging writers. I&#8217;ve been blessed to find that kind of service here in Ireland too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s out there, so don\u2019t settle for anything less if you decide to self-publish.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m in the mood to celebrate the arrival of my \u2018firstborn\u2019 and Beth has kindly allowed me to do that by running a little writing competition here.<br \/>\nWrite me a 350 word short Christmas story.
