[stylist] Publishing advice.

[Alan]

Thanks. I will have to investigate this once I complete the book.
Considering posting the chapters I have written so far.

There are many, many options.  You can get your book listed individually
with retailers like Amazon, B&N etc.  Not all retailers accept independent
submissions directly from the author though.  So there are companies like
Book Baby and Smash Words and oodles of others, that you submit your book to
and they do the work of getting it listed with retailers.  These companies
all get commissions of course.  Still it is very little compared to a print
book publisher.  Or if you are so inclined you can set up your own web site
and sell it directly completely independently or through a service like
Click Bank.  
Generally the more work you do yourself the greater the profits.

Personally I'm planning on using Smash Words and supplementing that with
marketing of my own.
