Product Description
From Booklist
Ortman supplies a good overview of the stages involved in publishing one's own nonfiction (and "to a slightly lesser degree, poetry and fiction"). Nor is he shy about citing other books that cover his topics in greater detail. Assuming you know little about the process, he discusses getting started, developing promotional materials and securing reviews, distribution, and continued marketing. Far from the whole story, but a good start, particularly for someone whose interests are just beginning to quicken. Denise Perry Donavin

Insufficient Info,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Guide to Self Publisher (Paperback)
This book may be a handy ADDITION to your publishing library, but it is definitely not "the" source book for marketing. In fact, in the rapidly changing world of publishing, I found that most of the information I did want to use was already out of date.

See if Self-Publishing is Right for You,
By
This review is from: Simple Guide to Self Publisher (Paperback)
This book helps you compare regular publishing with self-publishing to see if it's right for you.Three main questions underlie the process: Chapters cover such topics as: This book has lots of great suggestions, but he doesn't go into any very deeply. At only 62 pages, this is useful as a handbook. It is geared toward writers who needs an overview of the process, particularly those wanting more traditional paper publishing for their books.

Best Short Self-Publishing How-to Book,
By
This review is from: Simple Guide to Self Publisher (Paperback)
This simple guide is exactly that, the bare bones basics for those who don't want to wade through hundreds of pages. You can get more than three times the information for only twice the price in a book like Dan Poynter's The Self-Publishing Manual, but more is not always best for everyone. If you are the type of person who wants "Just the facts" this book could be your ideal introduction to self-publishing.
