When here a servant began in this of literature (typing in an old Underwood for more details), the possibility of having my stories on paper loomed like that idyllic horizon. But they were other times (my first novel came out in 2001), and the resources available to any author are not that they were too many, beyond the traditional publishing houses.
But times have changed and currently the book printing commissioned appears as a great alternative for any author eager to have their copies with which to surprise everyone and spread their work. Always relying on high-quality editing through the best specialized companies that have optimal media for high-quality editing.
In addition, things are very simple and as I said in the title of this post, in a few steps you can have your book at home, with the print run that you deem appropriate, in record time and with the best presentation you can imagine.
Of course, it is best to bet on insurance and dedicate a review time to your work in order to polish all the details. Thus, before layout the book for printing, you must make sure that everything is to your liking. Both what corresponds to you as a writer and what corresponds to the specialists in the layout and final printing of the book.
As I say, you can find printers committed to that same quality goal. Nothing better than to receive a first physical sample of your print run to polish details, proceed to corrections that may proceed and finally launch your project forward with the security and confidence that you will have a perfect edition in its general presentation and in any others. details.
In the best of cases, these knowledgeable companies in their sector can even offer you an ISBN to differentiate and exclusive your work. Because these small differential details provide tranquility and also a point of professionalization. A book without ISBN loses that band of authenticity that you surely want for your paper creature.
Once with your printed copies at home, I assure you that no one better than you to promote your work. Although beyond possible commercial purposes, the mere fact of having it printed and equipped with its ISBN gives you that rush as an author to launch your own literary presentations, or for large packaging gifts or any other purpose.
Details such as bookmarks never hurt to round off that impression of your work. And in many cases you can find it as a complement to your print order, it can even be given to you on some occasions.
If you have been able to give shape to your idea, to write that story that you always wanted to tell, or to develop that interesting essay, a script, a biography ..., don't miss the opportunity to immortalize it on paper. I assure you that it is a unique pleasure.
