 Good for the unintelligent ( r_crass )
This book had some useful advice, but I found its presentation to be very juvenile. I would hope that this book's audience, made up of those people who are seriously contemplating careers as writers, would be intelligent/insightful/deep-thinking/analytical enough to put 2 and 2 together. If readers cannot understand a maturely-written book, then they probably shouldn't get their hopes set on making a career out of writing. This book makes it seem like anyone, no matter how dense or shortsighted their writing, can make it in this business, a simply erroneous assumption!

E T Milligan-Review by a fellow author
A great resource that will guide you step-by-step through the process of self-publishing. Comprehensive and thorough, covering all aspects of marketing, promoting and selling your self-published work. I lacked confidence in the profitability of self-publishing until I read this book. Then, I took a chance of contacting a printing agency recommended in her book and have been thoroughly satisfied. A must-read if you want to know how to protect your work while exposing it to many marketable opportunities. I would highly recommend you read this book before endeavoring into the fast-growing world of self-publishing.

Wow! What a Helpful Book
My home is full of self-publishing books but this is by far the best one. It has everything a writer needs to self publish. This is definitely an all-star book. Why? Because it guides the reader through the process one step at a time, leaving nothing to chance. The large print makes it easy on the eyes, something many people will appreciate. It has a sample layout and, believe it or not, a short grammar course included. Who couldn't use this? Want to know if you learned the subject matter? Take the test at the end of each chapter and the final at the end of the book. This book is realistic and the authors know what they are talking about. You can't go wrong on this one. Begin your self-publishing venture today!

It's all about results.
If you believe your book is your baby, if it really comes from within you, then you'll resonate with Bettie Tucker's approach and how she, as an expert, can relate to your goals deeply in "How To Self-Publish Your Book With Little Or No Money."
And that's only the beginning.
"How To Self-Publish Your Book With little Or No Money" begins with an understanding of the prospective book author's own sentiments and beliefs. The belief a writer has in his or her own message. This book is not for the casual writer or established professional with years of contacts; this book is for the individual new author who has no contacts, but who has something to say.
Toward this overall objective of making a book come to life, Bettie does an interesting thing: she compels some self-examination of the new writer and their material. I'm big on that. Every writer should really understand why we want to write, what we'll write and how to begin the process. Some think this is the easy part - self-expression - but it is vital to get down and get down early.
Because self-publishing is not a mechanical journey - it's much more than business, more than expression, more than mere perseverence; it's understood to be more of a personal growth experience with some real personal difficulties and change to challenge the new author as a neccesary part of their personal publishing success.
This is the secret of Bettie's content: it isn't easy. It's written to be direct, succinct and useful, but much is expected of the serious-minded self-publishing author. How the industry works is critical to understand in order to avoid that protracted, discouraging learning curve of when no one outside seems to cooperate. It's not how to get past the secretary kind of information - it's more of understanding; how to optimize the quality of your book; how to avoid pitfalls and frustrating delays; and how to bring your book to life at a profit.
Was it hard for me? No, it wasn't, but it did demand of me a new way of thinking. And that's the challenge if you want to take your writing to publication. We all write; how many take it to the next level and publish a book?
For your new book to succeed is at the heart of Self-Publish Your Book With Little Or No Money, hence the importance of the self-examination, the brief grammar review and the real-life case history inside. The book has a great index, too, current leads and filled with juicy contacts.
I respect this book, because it doesn't serve up how to make it easy, necessarily; it hands over the secrets to make it work.
I probably sound like a former student, but the new author-publisher probably will, too. That's the relationship between Bettie Tucker and her readers. Isn't that what you might expect once your book is published? I'm searching for a word here... How about gratitude?
For being well written, of course, an A. For being personable and effective, an A+.
Ever have a teacher you really liked? The ones who got results? For helping me get results, five stars.
