Product Description
From the Foreword by Dan Poynter If you publish your own book, you will make more money, get to press sooner, and keep control of your work. You have all the ingredients to be a successful author - publisher - this book will be your recipe. Plan your product. Find a need and fill it. Target your audience before you can write your book. Who are your readers and what do they want? How can you help them by delivering the most value while taking the least amount of their time? You need something to lean on - this book will be your escort. Whether you self-publish or turn your manuscript over to a publisher, the author always has to do the book promotion. Most authors find out too late that publishers do not promote books. "If it is to be, it is up to me." You need guidance and encouragement - this book will be your coach. Plan your promotion before you write your book. Read this book and draft your marketing plan. You need a plan and this book will be your guide. Writing the book is the easy part; the tip of the iceberg. The real work begins when you switch hats to expend time and money on promoting the books. As you enter this new territory, this book will be your beacon. Book promotion takes time. Book reviews take three months to three years to appear because magazines and even daily newspapers have long lead times. The easiest mistake is to send out books for review, news releases on your books, or a direct-mail offer and then to sit back and wait for the results. The secret of savvy book promotion is to keep up the pressure: keep sending out the packets and keep making the phone calls. You need a constant reference and this book will be your mentor. Linda Radke has made your new venture easy by providing a simple road map to economical self-publishing. Start now by taking the first step. This book will be your secret weapon.

Your coach, your mentor, your beacon. And your secret weapon ( apet2002 )
This is a practical, simple and easy-to-follow guide to economical self-publishing built on the personal experience of Linda F. Radke. Linda is an award-winning self-publisher who has helped numerous authors publish and market their books. In the book Linda tips the self-publisher in his or here way through the thorns of the publishing and marketing worlds. And she really suggests a lot of money-saving hints. The book covers many topics such as style, manuscript, illustrations, editors, copyright, ISBN, bar code, establishing your business at home, developing mailing lists, how to market ant promote your book on a limited budget, and much more. It consists of three parts. The first one is about making a book from idea to printing. Writing the book is the easy and pleasing part, very the tip of the iceberg of book-publishing. The second part of the book is on business of publishing, as writing is an art and publishing is a business. And the third part is on publicity, promotion, and marketing. In appendix you'll find the list of some useful publications, periodicals, association and distributors' magazines, book distributors and wholesalers, mailing list sources, other useful contacts, and a sample of the Book marketing plan by Five Star Publications. Dan Poynter said about this book: this is your recipe, your coach, your mentor, your guide, your beacon, and your secret weapon. And he is quite right. I recommend this book for writers and small publishers.

 Good, but there are better books on the subject. ( firstleaf )
I enjoyed reading this book. It is a good overview of self-publishing and written in a light, "easy-to-read" style. If you really wanted to learn to self-publish however, there are better books out there. What this book lacks is some of the detailed information that is available in other book on this subject. If you really want to learn to self-publish, check out the books by Poynter, Ross & Ross, Brownstone or Cordoza. Unfortunately you really need to purchase a couple of these book to really learn what you need to know. I haven't found one of that covers everything in sufficient detail.

 A Good Overview ( nikiqueenbooks )
Linda Foster Radke's book "The Economical Guide to Self Publishing" is a must read for all self publishers. It is easy to read, clear, provides a good step-by-step overview and gives great suggestions on how to save money. My only regret is that her book became available after I self published my book. Along with the books of Dan Poynter and Tom and Marilyn Ross her book has become a welcome addition to my library.
