Basics of Self Publishing in Canada
If you are an aspiring author or already have become one then you must certainly been looking forward to book formatting and getting your book published. Before a decade, writers used the most common publishing platform which demanded sufficient investment and a dependence on the company offering publishing services.
With the rise in e-books the field of traditional publishing completely transformed. Similarly, the market for self publishing in Canada got influenced by the introduction of novel zero cost distribution tools. With this in place, authors are now getting a good percentage of their book sales and are able to work independently. Today, authors have great control over the place where their work is sold and the amount they earn. A number of bestselling authors, including John Locke, have jumpstarted their careers by using e-books for publishing their works.
The most important characteristic of self-publishing on the online platform is that the companies offering publishing services are not actually publishers. They are merely distributors or retailers. They neither take responsibility for the quality of work they provide nor do they claim any rights on the work accomplished by you.
Self publishing platforms in Canada are a low-cost alternative to traditional publishing. Based on the service, your e-book will be distributed for free or after levying a one-time fee. For free distribution, the retailer will claim a percentage of sales while those who charge fees, give you 100 percent of net sales. Doesn't that sound amazing?
The best thing about publishing an e-book is convenience. You can upload your works at any time and make it available for sale. If you no longer wish to sell it then you can withdraw your works at any given time. It gives you so much flexibility that you can modify the price plus cover and description of the book at any point.
