ABOUT SELF-PUBLISHING
Dear Friends:
Self-publishing is more than a notion. Authors should think long and hard before embarking down this path. It can be expensive; it's easy (and costly) to make mistakes; and it is hard to gain the credibility -- not to mention distribution, marketing & promotion that you need to make your project a success. And if you are thinking about self-publishing a book of poetry, you should not only think long and hard once -- you should think long and hard 5 times before you move forward.
Countless friends, family, and acquaintances have asked me for advice; so I decided to post some tips on my website where I can easily refer people. As always, I am pressed for time, so I will start with a few links. Over time, I plan to build this page.
Happy writing!!

| Kwame Alexander | Kwame is an excellent resource and known to all in the DC/Baltimore area. I took his Do the Write Thing class and it was well worth the money. He may be just consulting now. Yes. I could have found all the info that he gave me on my own, but why? This was efficient and it kept me on task (no small feat). Invest in your dreams. |
| Self Publishing Guide | My friends call me the Queen of the Internet. I don't know about that. But I found this handy little guide by surfing. It's really helpful! |
| Self Publishing Hall of fame | Cute. Inspirational. |
| iUniverse | This was NOT right for me. But it works for some, depending on your goals as an author/publisher. |
