Great overview, but there is another way...Hi Diane<br /><br />Great overview, but there is another way to get published that leaves the writer more in control with little or no upfront expenses depending on what service packages are selected:<br /><br />Print On Demand Publishing - <br />Publisher supplies the ISBN for free and book is listed on their website, "major national bibliographical databases" and Amazon. You own the rights, but must get new ISBN if decide to publish it elsewhere (unless you supply an ISBN you purchased). You set price. Publication purchased as a download or printed copy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-81376496492548449432010-03-01T14:14:20.477-05:002010-03-01T14:14:20.477-05:00I think number 4 is true.
