Why should I self-publish? -- Zorba Books

GURUGRAM, India - May 15, 2023 - PRLog -- Why should I self-publish?
Whether u are a well-known person or not, young or old, getting a book published in your name is a natural desire.

Why Self-publish Your Book?
1. Most well-known personalities are keen to be called 'author' & like to have a book  published under their name.

2. The book is written to benefit the readers, but it must be published first. It is as good as dead if readers cannot get to read it because no traditional publisher steps forward to publish it.

3. When an author is ready with a manuscript, they become desperate to publish it. But finding a publisher willing to publish can take a long time, sometimes many months.

4. Pay-offs can be huge. Like any aspect of life, there are a few downsides to self-publishing (https://www.zorbabooks.com/benefit-analysis-of-traditional-vs-self-publishing/), but there is a possibility of a vast pay-off too. It is possible to have a published book in your hands without any pain in as few as 4-5 weeks.

5. Be the master of your book- A traditional publisher has a set idea of what a book should contain & therefore, an author is forced to add/make changes to meet that set formula.

6. Earn up 100% royalties on net profit-Traditional publishers are really economical with royalties (http://www.zorbabooks.com/royalty/). Earning as much as 80-90% in self-publishing is possible! U would undoubtedly want to be in the driver's seat as far as your book is concerned.

7. Self-publish a book in weeks-For many new or first-time writers self-publishing a book is a good idea because the traditional publishing process is painfully inefficient.

8. Be involved at every stage of self-publishing your book- As an author, u are kept abreast of all steps, including designing the cover (https://www.zorbabooks.com/five-secrets-to-making-an-attr...) & the "look" of the book, formatting the contents, printing, pricing, sales & distribution.

9. You can be based anywhere in the world to self-publish your book-To self-publish a book, u can be based anywhere in India – in large cities like Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, or the smallest of towns.

10. Join well-known personalities-All well-known personalities in India (https://www.zorbabooks.com/to-write-is-to-create-history-11-indian-stars-who-chose-to-celebrate-writing/) or abroad have a book to their credit, be it the PM of India, or Bill Gates. There is a certain prestige attached to becoming an author.

Self-publishing a book in India with the help of experts is now a viable option for first-time authors, new authors & established authors. I hope this post has all u need to know about self publishing.
