Publishing division of Coaching for Excellence, LLC

In 2005, when I was writing my first book, Leveraging Diversity at Work, I joined a program advertised on the Internet to learn how to write a book and self-publish.

There are many pros and cons to self-publishing versus obtaining a publishing contract. As a first-time author, it is difficult to get a publishing contract, and if you do, you often lose creative control over your book and you will see very little profit from book sales. The benefit in winning a publishing contract is that the publisher will handle all your up front costs and possibly provide you with some publicity.

Since I was using my book mainly for lead generation for my workshops, I chose to self-publish. I paid $4000 for the program to learn the ins and outs of self-publishing. Then I became one of the program's coaches to help other authors write and publish their books. I know the field of self-publishing.

I created my own publishing company, Inside Out Press, to publish my first and subsequent books and to publish other books that fit the self-development genre from the inside out approach.

If you want to write a book or have already written one and you have decided to self-publish, using a publishing company's name on your cover will increase your credibility.

If you are interested in having Inside Out Press publish your book, then contact me at 708-957-6047 for a free 20-minute consult to learn what is involved.
