Self-publishing: The good,
the bad, the ugly

There are hundreds of self-publishing companies today: good, bad and ugly.

The bad

Many of the self-publishing offers out there are scams, pure and simple with high prices and low quality. Some make unfounded claims how they can successfully market and distribute books. (I've provided some warning signs in my article Self-publishers and piranhas.)

The ugly



RECENT ACW PRESS COVERS LOADING
And there are many self-publishers, that while not bad—they're honest and well-meaning—are simply not producing professional quality work.

The good

I am privileged to work for one of the good ones: ACW Press, a part of the American Christian Writers family.

At ACW Press, prices for print on demand and traditional printing are clearly posted, all covers (see above) are custom-designed by designers working for major publishers (no templates!) and editing is included in all publishing packages (I edit all the POD books). ISBN and bar codes are also included in all packages.

Please carefully compare ACW Press' prices and services with other self-publishers. And if you'd like a quote, just email me the word count of your manuscript and I'll be happy to send you several publishing options.
