The changing environment of publishing

With the advent of the Internet and eReaders such as Kindle, getting your writing published and available to readers has never been easier.  This has not made writing easier it has however put both readers and writers in control of what is available and what is read.

There was a time, not too long ago, when publishers controlled what we read. If a writer truly believed in their work they had to undertake what was once an expensive self-publishing approach and then still find it difficult to ensure their work was available to the masses.

Self-publishing as hard copy and digital copy is now much more accessible.  You still have to write your book and ensure it is of the highest quality, however you can now publish and market your work relatively inexpensively and in some cases without cost.

If you have started to write a book, or have finished one, now is the time to dust it off and publish it.
