Need a Publisher for your Men's Issues Book?

	posted by D on Monday August 25, @11:24PM from the Media dept.
	This is a reletively inexpensive way to get your book going. Granted it won't get the big push from the networks, but you know you can do it. Trafford Publishing offers an alternative. Also Cyberman Books is another resource to get your book started. These are places that should be utilized by anyone interested in the Men's Movement. The important thing is that people read what you have to say. One issue that affects men's issues is that men do not read or buy books as much. This is a challenge for the men's movement, and one that can be overcome.

cyberManbooks and other indie publishers (Score:2) by Trudy W Schuett on Wednesday August 27, @05:51AM EST (#1) (User #116 Info) http://www.desertlightjournal.com Thanks for the mention, Dan, but what do you mean by "the big push from the networks"? Looks like you're laboring under the misapprehension that some magic happens with the publication of a book, and that's just not true. A new writer self-published through a company like Trafford or more-traditionally with cyberMan or even one of the big guys like Simon&Schuster has precisely the same starting point. Unless they work hard and promote their works, no author's work will ever get to the shelves of the local bookstores, and/or be featured on the Today show. (If that's what you mean.) It's a widely-held bit of misunderstanding, but publishers don't do any promotion for newbies. They're left to do it on their own, which includes pitching morning news programs. That's why I started the WOLves program, http://www.writers-promote.com to help newly-published authors, and even small indie publishers understand the whys and wherefores of getting a book in front of the public once it's been published. After publication is when the hardest work begins -- and it breaks my heart to see how many authors are sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, when in fact they were the ones supposed to do the phoning! ;>) T______ "A woman needs a man like a fish needs the river."

Something I didn't know either. Personally I think we stand a good chance within our community of pushing great work. Is it true you are doing some editing? .

Traditional publishing companies don't even look at the work of new authors, especially when it comes to contraversial works such as books on men's issues. I completed my first fantasy novel a couple of years ago and it has been sitting in a safe ever since. I have in the last year or so given thought to writing a book or two on men's issues and have been completely lost for a way to get published. I think when I get my finances worked out a little, I'll give these websites a try. Writers have changed societies so I hope to see a lot of new authors posting links to their books here at mensactivism.org in the next few years.
