[stylist] Self Publishing

[Donna Hill]

Hi David,
Congratulations for getting this far in the process! There are many 
things to think about with self-publishing, and unless you already have 
done so, I would advise reading "Getting Your Book Published for 
Dummies" which is available as digital download and cassette from NLS or 
some other book about how the publishing industry works.

I think that I Universe still makes you sign an exclusive contract, 
whereas Amazon, for instance, doesn't. I'm in the  midst of researching 
this for my novel and it is a mind-numbing process. The other thing you 
need to keep in mind is that the writer, regardless of whether it's 
self-published or picked up by a publisher, is nowadays responsible for 
more and more of the promotions. I recently bought an accessible e-book 
called "Purple Snowflake Marketing" by Dave and Lillian Brummit, which 
is a great resource.

BTW, what's a nonfiction novel?
