Self-Publishing With Book Surge

Writers all share the goal of seeing our work in print. Whether we write for business or simply for the joy of seeing your thoughts shared with others we all want to get published.

Getting published used to be a difficult and expensive process. You had to send out queries to every publisher you could think of who might possibly handle your kind of work and then wait. Hoping as the days went by for just one letter of acceptance among the "Dear Sir, we're sorry but" form letter rejections. What a tedious process!

Then self publishing on the web or through some of the vanity presses came on the scene. The end result was usually spending a lot of money to get a few copies of your book gathering dust in your home and not earning any money. Now there is a better way!

Book Surge is a division of Amazon which offers the talents of experts in book publishing, editing and promotion to help you get your book on book store shelves and, ahem,making you some money. Book Surge pays 35% royalties on each book sold and pays you every month by direct deposit.

They offer several packages to choose from to publish your book and at reasonable prices. There is also a great deal of flexibility in how your book is developed and promoted.

The best choice is called the Total Design Freedom package. This package has two versions. One for standard book publication and one for children's books. Of all the available choices this one seems the most cost effective.

Starting at about $800.00 this option include everything from custom design for your book inside and designing a cover that will make shoppers want to grab your book right away. ISBN and bar code number assignment is included ( this alone is saving you hundreds of dollars) and assistance in promoting your book.

Your book is listed on Amazon.com and with Alibris and Abebooks as well as book wholesalers and retailers such as Baker & Taylor, R.R.Bowkers Books and Nielsen Book Data in the U.K. This enables book sellers and wholesalers around the world to have access to your book.
In addition Book Surge Direct will promote your book to libraries. Imagine the pride you'd feel to stand in the library and see your books on the shelf! They even send you complimentary copies of your book.

For a hassle free experience in getting your book published just go to Amazon.com Book Surge and look around. Compare the plans and read the author's success stories. You will find it to be the easiest and most cost effective way to print and sell your books.
