Have you written a book that you would like to self-publish but not sure
how? You dreamed it; let me make it real.
What authors are saying: As a new author and having made the decision to attempt to find a publisher for my manuscript, I found myself in the quagmire most new authors find themselves in; that of mass mailings of query letters, expensive printing and mailing costs, and the frustrations of not getting so much as a polite reply from literary agents and publishing companies who were queried. I had to scratch my head and ask myself, “Who are these “ivory tower” hauteurs... who represent themselves as indisputable jurists on what is good literature and what is not, when what they have brought to market is, at best, largely a collection of grocery-store-bookrack pocket novels written by some unknown writer with a story bordering on plagiarism from a 1962 Reader’s Digest drama?” I didn’t have the patience nor the desire to continue to kowtow to such unresponsive arrogance; the publishing industry salts who (I wasn’t convinced) read so much as a paragraph of my literary work of 18 years. Quite fortunately, I had a close friend who knew Melissa Bowersock, an author who had 9 books of her own published over the last 30 years, and knew the changing trends of the publishing industry. Melissa’s company, New Moon Publishing Services, was exactly what I realized I needed. I needed a company, a live person, with the professional knowledge of the industry, the talent, and the skills to help me get my book published. Melissa and I agreed (and logically so) that the big NYC publishers were changing their methods too. We agreed, unless you were a Michael Crichton, Stephen King, or Nora Roberts, the likelihood of a big house printing up 40,000 copies of your book and shipping them to all the book stores across the country was nil. But, with the DIY and Print On Demand (POD) methods rising quickly as a means of bringing books to the marketplace, surely the NYC publishers would use the showcase of Amazon and its enormous market reach, as a place to scout new authors with promising works. I had no idea, however, how to go about publishing the book myself. Melissa did know how. And, so I hired Melissa and New Moon Publishing Services to help me get my book published. It was an incredibly smooth process and unless you are a sought after “Michael Crichton” or “Stephen King”, you too will find yourself in the same quagmire of trying to get a literary agent or publisher to even notice you. The good news is... you don’t have to take that road. Get published with the help of New Moon Publishing Services and you may end up with a better deal from the big NYC publisher (after they’ve discovered your book at Amazon) than you would have ever gotten with them had they taken interest in your book, let alone read a paragraph. Using Melissa and New Moon Publishing Services should be a ‘no-brainer’ for you. I know I won’t hesitate to hire Melissa again when I’ve finished my sequel to The Object of Evil. ~Chris Duryea, Author of The Object of Evil
