Self publishing vs traditional publishing
Self Publishing
Creative Publishing offers an alternative. Print on demand is a new service we offer where you can name the quantities of book you want produced. You could print as few as five if you wished. We can layout your book, design a snazzy cover and get ten copies to you within a month or less if we all have our ducks in a row.
This certainly opens a few new options for some. This is ideal for academic journals, excellent for trainers who wish to turn their work into a sellable add on and even great for families who may wish to publish their memoirs.
Short run publishing opens a world of opportunity.... Grasp it now and contact Mike at Creative Publishing

How do I choose a publisher?
There is a perception that in order to be considered a literary success that your work must be snapped up by a recognised publishing house. Although there is a definite benefit to be recognised by the industry professionals, there are also important considerations. For example the belief that once you are published that writing will become a full time career. The truth is that out of the many published writers out there, only a few will achieve the success required in order for them to become full time writers.

Case Study
Marcel Oudejans
styles himself as an “infotainer”. In reality he is much more than that. He is a magician and an accomplished public speaker. He has chosen to self publish his book called “Creating Customers for Life”. His book is well written, entertaining and a must read for businesspeople and budding entrepreneurs.
He designed his cover himself and styled it on other self help books that he had seen. His publisher advised him on size and undertook the process of typesetting and small quantity digital prints. This meant that Marcel did not have to layout a lot of money for printing thousands of copies. Naturally his per book price is higher but his cash flow is a whole lot better.
Marcel sells his books at all the seminars he facilitates and at all the places he speaks at. His sales have steadily increased in support of his speaking business and his book has helped him increase his stature in the market.
