Our Self Publishing Guide Is OUT!

Self Publishing Is For Losers is out now on Kindle!

Expect the print version soon; we’ll keep you updated.

The title of this book pokes fun at what is in truth a serious problem: the tendency of some, including authors themselves, to think of self publishing as “less.”  Whereas, especially given the current state of the publishing world, that’s the furthest thing from the truth.  Self Publishing Is For Losers is your guide to success at self publishing, and part of success at self publishing is understanding what it actually is–and isn’t.  As well as what traditional publishing is, and isn’t.  Debunking some unfortunate myths and misconceptions, it argues–in my opinion extremely successfully–for self publishing as the wave of the future and the most ambitious choice for all writers.

And, of course, teaches you how to capitalize on that ambition.

I can honestly tell you that, as the author, I’m extremely proud of this guide.  I think it’s a great tool for any author’s arsenal, regardless of how they’re published or wish to some day be published.  This is the advice that we, the folks of Evil Toad Press and I, PJ, have used to get us from square one to where we are now.

One of the things I noticed, though, was how much of succeeding meant reinventing the wheel.  How little authors shared with each other–or wanted to.  The scarcity mentality that seemed to permeate this industry.  Wouldn’t it be great, I thought, if we shared with each other?  Which thought became the basis of this book.  The more we help each other, by sharing what works (and doesn’t), the better off we all are.

There are no secrets, here.  There are no real secrets to success.  But if you’re contemplating a career in writing, then I honestly think this is the book for you.
