Dan Poynter’s Self-Publishing Manual
How to Write, Print and Sell Your Own Book
The Self-Publishing Manual
The guide that has launched thousands of books
* * * * *
…by the man the industry turns to for publishing advice.
You can be in print. You can have a book you will be proud of. You can make it a successful seller. Most importantly, you can afford it!
The Self-Publishing Manual, more effectively and successfully than any other book, has turned writers with an idea into successful authors with books. Real books. Books to be proud of.
How? By providing solid, usable information in clear, concise, readable language. By covering every stage of the process from putting ideas into words and words into print, and print into books and books into the hands of readers. This is not the stuff of theory; it is the product of hard-earned experience written by a man who walked, then ran the path to success. More than 120 times.
Dan Poynter is the acknowledged expert in the field of publishing. He didn’t get there by self-promotion. He got there by producing measurable results for countless authors who were turned down by or chose to turn away from established publishers.
From the very first edition through the 15th, The Self-Publishing Manual delivered insider secrets for creating a solid foundation in self-publishing. Each subsequent edition was updated to cover the latest development in the technology and realities of the publishing industry. However, unless you have the 16th edition, you don’t have all you need to know to keep you on the fast track to success in the rapidly evolving world of publishing.
This is your single most important resource; it will lead you to publishing success.

I have never met an author who is sorry he or she wrote their book. They are only sorry they did not write it sooner.
