Want to Publish Your Own Material But Don´t Know How to Start?
The other day I came across a website on the subject of self-publishing I found interesting enough to share with your guys, so here it goes:
Self-publishing is becoming increasingly popular and in many cases even necessary if you want to get your material out in the world. So you have had a great idea or even already written a book but after many attempts to getting it published in a very competitive publishing industry, you haven´t gotten a step further.
At this point there are several things you can do
- Keep pounding away at finding a willing publisher
- Give up all together and give up on your dream
- Self Publish!
The Self-Publishing Review offers very useful resources on how to go about self-publishing, whether you are looking for ways to create a dashing book cover, learning more about how to create an ebook or even have your book printed and distributing it to stores and libraries.
In a recent interview with the owner of The Self-Publishing Review Magazine, the owner explains the core reason for starting his site and it immediately shows his dedication and knowledge on self-publishing and why you should visit his site if you are thinking of becoming a self-publishing writer:
“I really do want to improve the attitude towards self-publishing – it’s not just a delusion to justify not getting published traditionally. I have been published traditionally. So I understand the difference between traditional publishing and not. I think the new wave of self-publishing opens up incredible doors that weren’t possible before and I’m fine with being an advocate for what that offers, rather than hitting it big immediately with a mainstream publisher.” – HB
Not only does he have the knowledge and experience himself, he is sharing it with anybody thinking of self-publishing books so if you are looking for ways to publish your own material you should definitely check out The Self-Publishing Magazine
Henry Baum´s rules for self-publishing:
- Don’t expect to sell a lot of books.
- That doesn’t matter because connecting with new readers – however many – is the goal.
- There’s no shame or defeat in self-publishing if you satisfy #2.
Last but not least, when contacting Henry about something on his site, he mentioned to me that he was always on the look out for reviewers – of all genres, fiction and non-fiction – and other types of writing for the site, so feel free to contact him if you feel you can contribute in a positive manner.
In short, The Self-Publishing Review is the number one resource to go to for all your self-publishing needs!

I’m not expecting to write a book or something like that. But it is my long dream to write romantic novels. Henry Baum’s advise is a no-brainer but there is no way of arguing it.
Any write makes great materials when he or she is passionate about it. True to writing, you will never think of it as gaining money. You can only hope to be heard.
