We’re All Publishers Now
You know the saying “Everyone has at least one good book in them”. Which I think is true!!! The internet has opened the doors to would be writers to enable them to self publish their work. Gone are the days were you had to appoach offline publishers, begging them to read your work and publish it, ok not quite gone!!!
Self publishing is a great way to get exposure, connect with fans, and make more money with your written words. There are loads of self-publishing sites out there ready to take your master piece, to share to the world. Who knows you could be the next Stephen King or J.K.Rowling…
I am going to share with you self publishing sites I have used and personally think is worth trying.
Issuu
Issuu – is very cool, its for online publications where you can see the digital versions of print magazines, catalogues, and documents. This site is more for professional publishers than for individual users. Issuu also allows you to embed your publications on your site.
Yudu
Yudu – produces digital versions of your brochure, catalogue, newsletter or magazine. Yudu also allows you to add multimedia elements such as video, hyperlinks and sound to your publications.
Lulu
Lulu – is great, lets you publish and sell print-on-demand books, e-books, online music, CD/DVD’s, software, artwork and calendars.
Scribd

Hi Avis,
I enjoyed your article – informative and well constructed. Just one question (don’t want to sound pretentious…) but shouldn’t the title be “We’re All Publishers Now” as in “We are All Publishers Now”?
Thanks!
Thanks Mike glad you like the resources
Hi Claudiu you are right about the title
Thanks for this infos. Good resources.
Avis–Great content as usual–I recognized the value of self publishing after getting out of Dean’s course and wrote my first eBook (I believe you have a copy, its called Learn the Lingo:101 Words Every Online Marketer Needs to Know)
I had a positive experience uploading to Scribd and also wanted to share with you http://www.ebookdirectory.com/ as another website to add to your list.
Best,
Ralph
