The Self-Publishing Manual, more effectively and successfully than any other book, has turned writers with an idea into successful authors with books by providing solid, usable information in clear, concise, readable lanugage. This is not the stuff of theory, it is the product of hard-earned experience.

December 06, 2009: Dan Poynter does his thing, this book was very informative, and straight to the point. My self being a self-published author of a very successful book used this book as a blueprint to not only establishing the foundation of my company Bleeding Pen Publishing but to also market, promote, and distribute my debut novel "Crew Love". Self Publishing Manual How to write, Print, and Sell your own book is a must get for all ambitious entrepenuers!

November 14, 2008:
Dan Poynter?s Self Publishing Manual is what the title implies ? and a whole lot more. The book is also a marketing guide and goes a long way in the public relations area.
During the course of reading the book I jotted down a dozen or more subject notes and I?ll share some of them with you.
Poynter talks about reviews, testimonials and how your web site is at the heart of your promotional campaign. The section on news releases gives you an example of their format and how to tailor the release to your material.
The chapter titled ?Advertising Your Book,? not only gives mail and print information you are told how to obtain radio interviews, which gives you free airtime to promote your book.
Those are just a few of the great ideas. Anyone with a book in the works or one that?s ready for the market will benefit from this manual.
