Consciousness publishing might be the best artifact to publish your book. Thither are various advantages to consciousness publishing that you might not have considered.
First, and most important, consciousness publishing places you firmly in control of your book. When individual else is paying you to publish your book so they make many decisions regarding the editing of the manuscript, the cover, the appellation and the marketing that can impact not only how advantageously your book will sell but also how it will be received by the reading public. For example, my 2nd book ended up with the appellation “Kentucky Kisses” simply because my publisher’s marketing department reported that books with the morpheme “kisses” in the appellation oversubscribed advantageously. I felt the appellation was rather frivolous for the content but my wishes were ignored.
Consciousness publishing is also faster than conventional publishing. With my novel, Kentucky Kisses, it took me over a year to find a publisher interested in buying and various months before we went to contract. So after the contract was autographed it was another 18 months before my book was released to the public. That is a long time to act.
Consciousness publishing also allows you to retain all the profits from your endeavor. Piece you may have to put any money up front (depending on the method you consume to consciousness publish your book) you will not have to act for months or years to accompany income as a result. Most publishers only pay royalties once or double a year and so those royalties are only a bantam percentage of the book price. When you consciousness publish your book so once you have covered any publications costs everything you earn is pure profit.
Finally, it cannot be overlooked that consciousness publishing offers you an opportunity to break into print that might not be otherwise available. The simple fact is that conventional publishing is highly competitive and many worthwhile manuscripts (and authors) cannot find a publishing home although thither may advantageously be an eager and receptive audience for that book.
It should be noted that consciousness publishing may not be for everyone. If you are allay struggling with your writing and expression, or your manuscript allay needs polishing, so you should continue to process your book and perhaps bring in the assistance of a critique group or professional editor. Consciousness publishing a book that is not yet ready for publication could be a costly mistake. If your manuscript has been polished and advantageously received by various critical readers so you should at least consider consciousness publishing your book.
Not only does consciousness publishing offer you the advantages of complete control, faster publication, and higher profits, it is easier and less expensive than it has ever been before thanks to modern application. Consciousness publishing could be your big break as a writer.
