Many people want to write a book. The problem is that, with so many people sitting down and doing it, today it's more difficult than it ever was to find a publisher for your book. In fact, the odds are so high that for most of us it's simply impossible. The good news is that self-publishing has never been easier or less expensive. Thanks to the advent of print-on-demand for printed books and digital e-books that allow thousands of pages to be stored on a single device about the size of a traditional, mass-market paperback book, anyone can publish their own work-and it won't cost thousands of dollars to do it, nor do you have to buy cartons of your book from a short-run printer and then try to sell them out of your basement or your garage.
There are a lot of books about self-publishing. Many of them promise that you can self-publish your book in a week, without spending any money. That's not exactly a lie … but it's also not exactly the truth. The Frugal Yankee's Guide to Self-Publishing explains how to self-publish your book as inexpensively as possible. It also explains when and why it's sometimes better to spend a few dollars, to either advance the process painlessly or to get a better result than you can do for free.
