Self publishing books

It seems unless you have a name, a well known name incidentally, your chances of getting published in the traditional way are becoming more difficult.

Solution
Change your name? Impractical and probably sueable in this day and age.

(Did I spell sueable correctly - uh huh - suppose one of my brain cells just up and died)

What is happening?

Primarily the whole of our social infrastructure has changed and radically especially for those shall we say over 21, classed today as OAPs. Getting a foot in any door is proving more and more difficult, including writing!

Much of this is down to technology - what can we do about it?

If you can't beat 'em join 'em. Writing is just the first stage of a long process and it is possible to take advantage of many of the new ways of writing, designing and promoting your book. The internet can be used for that in many ways.

'My kids are experts on the computer' - a well known and unsubstantiated quote. Kids are good on computers in the same way they are with a mobile. They are also very good as screwing it up as well.

The Kabbula states that no good book can be written until its writer is over forty - I think I would agree - communication skills only ripen with age - and that includes written ones.

So how do writers get themselves noticed these days? By doing things themselves. Take the written word and turn it into a visual feast using DTP software then promote it electronically using the web.

Why are you reading this now? Because I've promoted it electronically.
