I opened my own company. I would not recommend using print on demand if you want your book in stores. The retail cost of the book is to expensive (you do not get to set the price of the book they do). If you just want 100 copies for friends then print on demand would be fine. I do have a couple friends that used print-on-demand but they don't have their books in many stores. Remember that you have to give book stores 40% off the retail price for them to take your book. Gift stores and toy stores want 50% off.

There is a book called How to Self-Publish and Market your book written by a husband and wife by the last name of Smith that has a lot of great information. Also, 1001 Ways to Market your book by John Kramer. He explains the whole industry. I would highly recommend reading them both if you want to publish your own book. Do your research to see what is right for you:)

Hi Bobbie,

Thanks for the invite! I did belong to SCBWI last year but I didn't renew my membership. It is a wonderful organization! I'm on a tight budget so I decided to pick one organization to join. I chose IBPA. It is for independent publishers so their information is very useful to me. I will probably join SCBWI again in the future.

If you ever have any questions about self-publishing, just ask. I am no expert but I can try to answer your questions:)
