Get Your Word Out
Got a Book in Your Head? Get it Published! (From the Canton Repository)
“I ought to write a book.” If you are a wannabe author, there perhaps is no better time than the present to put your thoughts into words and those words onto paper.
Print-on-demand publishers such as AuthorHouse (formerly 1stBooks) are making it increasingly easy for authors who are not named Stephen King or John Grisham to get their fictional and works and memoirs into print.
“Our tagline is ‘Get your voice in print,” said Keith Ogorek, director of marketing for AuthorHouse, which claims on its Web site to have “helped more authors publish more titles than any other company.”
Indeed several local authors have taken their manuscripts to AuthorHouse, which provides editing and proofreading services, help with marketing and sales, and distribution and royalty payment assistance — while allowing authors to have creative control over the finished product.
