Fabulous post. I was umming and ahhing about whether to self-publish my next book after being published traditionally and you’re right – we have to do all of the marketing anyway so we may as well get paid for it. Great summary and reminder.

I agree! The business card isn’t dead, but the best business card today is your own book. True, everyone doesn’t have a great book in them. Then again, many do. I’ve
presented a popular and very practical 2-part book publishing seminar at conferences and colleges across the U.S. and in Canada. I would be happy to send the handouts from that seminar to any reader.

Great post! I’m curious about your opinion on writing a book that has nothing to do with the field you want to pursue. I am pursuing a career in art but have been itching to write a comedic book about dating. I guess I’m concerned about not being taking seriously in my professional career if I make my hobby too public. Thoughts?

I came across this post in January (of 2013) and it inspired me to give this a shot. I had been writing my company’s blog – Thoughts on Solar – since 2009 and I figured that I could craft a book from a select collection of blog posts. I started in earnest in March with a deadline of the 4th of July – you know, energy independence and all. Plus, it is my favorite holiday so it seemed a worthy goal.

I completed the manuscript in time for my deadline and then spent two months editing, polishing and dealing with the annoying aspects of Word for formatting a book with lots of embedded images.

Last Friday my book went live on Amazon and I am ready to move into hard-core promotion mode. So thanks again for the insights and the inspiration.

Thank you so much for making this post! I was struggling with this decision. You put it in such a way that made it easy to understand.

James, quick question: which software do you use to actually WRITE your books? How do your organize your writing? You probably DON’T use the CreateSpace/Microsoft Template to write in, or do you? Thank you!
