Where Do I Start?
Self-Publishing has never been any easier, as long as you go into the process prepared. Unfortunately it’s a virtual minefield out there, which you need to successfully navigate, your primary mission is to properly analyze your personal situation and set your goals accordingly.
Having worked with self-publishers on book publishing projects for over 5 years, I found that most potential book publishers ask the same set of core questions. I hope to address them all on this page.
If I miss any answers to your questions email me on info@selfpublishingsuccess.com.au or info@loveofbooks.com.au.

What Is The Difference Between Love Of Books And A Traditional Publisher?
When you print with Love of Books you are the self publisher. For the most part, you determine how successful your book becomes by deciding how much effort and money you want to invest into your book. In other words, you have full control on your own success. You keep ALL the profits minus your cost.
The fact is, with traditional publishers, 99% of manuscripts are rejected. What's worse is that out of the 1% or so that is actually accepted, most of the books are not given a whole lot of attention to market them (in fact, publishers lose money on most books). So chances are your efforts will not be rewarded, considering you will only get a small royalty. Even if you get a bestseller, the publisher will keep most of the profits.
What Is The Difference Between Love Of Books Publishing And A Printer?
Love of Books offers a whole range of publishing services that will make the whole process of bringing your book to reality a pleasurable experience. There is more to self publishing than just book printing. A book file must also be set up correctly before it goes to the printer. Love of Books has the expertise and knowledge to ensure you files are set up correctly for your book. Our services also give your published book the best chance of becoming a success.
Who Dictates The Price Of My Book?
You do! You decide how much money you wish to make on each book and price it accordingly.
Do You Think A Self-Publishing Author Can Do A Comparable Job To A Publisher?
I think a self-publisher can do at least as good a job, if not better than a publisher in virtually all aspects – if they’re willing to work hard. Because they have the luxury of being able to focus on their one book, which a publisher can’t, they can definitely do a better job in the marketing and promotion arenas (and a focused effort is critical to a title’s success). Remember: No one will ever care about your book as much as you will.
Where Can I Sell My Book?
Depending on your book, through your own efforts it can be sold to your students, friends, family, your seminar attendees, your clients and other associates.
