BEING YOUR OWN PUBLISHER
Yeah, yeah, there's new tech parameters and a paradigm shift and all that.
But the important thing is that there are (and always have been) alternatives to writing something then trying to sell the rights to a publishing company. This group is to explore these areas of self-owned publishing biz.
Some writers have niche books, some have special needs (like texts for their seminars), some are just too entrepreneurial to sell of their own inspirations. And some just want to see something in print.
There is a spectrum these days, from big publishers through the new, small POD publishers, to using publishing services like lulu.com or iuniverse, to printing yourself and selling online, to release of downloadable mp3 "podcasts" or pdf manuals.
If you have expertise, experience, or questions in this area, don't be shy about posting them here. It's a rapidly expanding field and nobody knows everything about it, but lots of us are learning enough to do what we want to do and successfully get it across the counter.

URGENT. Detroit bomb alert Christmas Day 2009.
Friends,
Your help is needed.
The following interview contains info which was sent - way back in August 2009 - to ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, DIRECTOR OF FBI, USA. Scroll down to MUELLER. His acknowledged receipt is retained.
As the details at DETROIT AIRPORT on Christmas Day 2009 verify, he is not acting swiftly on that info!
We are asking therefore that this information be sent to as many local, regional, national and international NEWSPAPER EDITORS as possible, as well as local/international FBI agents. This message can be copied and pasted. Please forward also to your individual networks.
Anything to get light through, and action taken! Security analysis verified.
Thank you. God Bless.
Eliza.

P.S. I am open to communication from legitimate LITERARY AGENTS who will help further this work. This in turn will free me to be doing more.

Hey Aggie;
Wondering if you'd be interested in posting my latest interview on your site?

I've actually got quite a few recent interviews done physically (newspaper media) and virtual (guest blogger). The articles are really well written:

Thank you, Linton. I think many authors are here for exposure for their books and blogs, as well as advice and support.
Janice, I didn't see your vote. Would you mind trying again at http://www.gotteethguide.com and leave your link with your comment.
Thank you, Saundra

God Blessed me to have my first book published in May, but the publisher left me at the starting gate. After the fact they said they didn't offer any marketing, so for the last months I've been researching the best route....time wise and financially to get this book noticed. Any advice? Nick Alvis

Even though we have all these free press release sites, I'm guilty of not using them near enough. I agree with Joel's suggestions too.
My only suggestion, Philip, would be to put the info at the end. Start it with a bang, the most interesting hook text you have, then the next least interesting 2nd, and the next least interesting 3rd, etc. You get the picture.
