The small percentage of aspiring authors who do get to sign on the dotted line (the stat is literally about 1%), will then hope to be given an advance against their royalties. After waiting somewhere around two years for the publisher to develop the book, the author will then get somewhere between 5 and 15 cents for every dollar in sales that their book makes. In some cases, if the book doesn't make enough money to cover the advance that was given, the author may owe that money back to the publisher. And, after all that, the author is often still responsible for the much of the promotion (live shows, interviews, conferences, paid advertising, etc.) that it takes to get / keep the book's sales consistent. Mentally Preparing for Traditional PublishingIf you're planning on attempting the traditional publishing route, remember to be patient (there's a lot of waiting involved), be persistent (there's a lot of rejection to deal with), and be flexible (changes made to the book may not be the kind you like to see). Self-Publishing (a.k.a. Indie Publishing): Ease and FreedomAs the technology to help self-published authors create their work becomes faster and easier to use, while still maintaining quality results, an increasing number of authors (even those who have been traditionally published before!) are choosing to self-publish. Self-publishing offers more control, takes a fraction of the time, and results in you being able to take home a minimum of 40% of earned royalties (in the most extreme, complex cases) on up to 100% of your earned royalties. Self-publishing allows everyone an equal chance to tell their story, and the opportunity to share the worlds in their head with readers around the globe.The Overlooked Part of Quality Self-Publishing Ventures Sounds great! you might be thinking. Why don't more people just self-publish instead of waiting so long and working so hard to get a traditional book deal?The answer is pretty simple actually. More people don't self-publish due to lack of education. They don't understand how self-publishing works, so they avoid it, thinking they will mess something up, get scammed, or fail to achieve the kind of success they've been led to believe they can get with a traditional publishing deal. However, once you learn what self-publishing entails, come up with a book development process that works for you, and gather your editorial team, self-publishing can be a fantastic, lucrative alternative to trying to go the trade route. And, yes, Volo Press Books will help guide you through these processes!Indie Authors Get What They Pay ForPart of new writers' lack of education is also not understanding that developing a book professionally costs money. In some cases, a lot of money. But we specialize in helping new writers understand their options when it comes to finding the services they need without going bankrupt. It takes some flexibility and resourcefulness, but it can be done. There are ways to develop and publish a book for exactly $0.00 (if you don't count your own time and elbow grease!). But keep in mind that the free methods will never be able to compare to having professionals help you edit and design your book. As with many things in life, you get what you pay for!Publications Volo Press Books has been featured in recently: How Do I Self-Publish a Book?PLAN what you're going to writeIt's often helpful to start by refining your idea and outlining what you're going to write.
