if you have your manuscripts edited and ready to publish, go to www.createspace.com create an account, and download a template depending on the amount of pages in your manuscripts. Using either MS Word, OR, I prefer Openoffice.org and use the templates there. You will be published at NO COST to you unless you need their optional professional assistance. There is even a covercreator template to create your own book cover. I have had CreateSpace publish three of my memoirs and I receive a 70% royalty, paid monthly, deposited electronically into my checking account. You need to upload the interior BEFORE you can create the cover, because the cover depends on the page count of the interior. I receive 70% Royalties! You are fortunate to receive a few cents from a known publisher - not to mention it takes YEARS to have your work published. Also, my memoirs are sold worldwide! They are translated into many languages around the world. You are also given an Author Page on Amazon and there are articles of how to promote your book. They also distribute CDs, DVDs, Amazon owns Createspace and KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) and is an outstanding opportunity for authors who have a voice and interesting things to say! You can visit my author page on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/Jussta/e/B00P8UA9C6/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1 I have published three memoirs in a series entitled Journey Of A Soul - one in November, one in December and one January 4, 2015. I am almost finished editing my fourth memoir and I have another manuscript. Each one is approximately 300 pages. They are available in paperback and Kindle. AND Amazon also promotes your work! Jussta saying - there are ways to get your words, music, videos out there worldwide - including into library catalogs. Let me know how this works for any of you1
I have another friend who is a published author through Create Space. M.A.R. Unger. how successful has it been?
