Many authors who later became famous published their own books. Authors such as ark Twain and Benjamin Franklin and books such as the first books in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series were selfpublished. It is a bit riskier than the regular publishing route as the author must pay for the production costs of creating the book and then assume all esponsibility for marketing and selling the selfpublished book. On the other hand, the ewards can be just as great or greater. There is no way to describe the feeling of holding a book you wrote in your hands. In addition, if you are willing to handle the marketing nd sales, all of the profits are yours instead of just the royalties paid by regular publishing firms In some cases, for example, when you want to produce a book about the history of your own family and intend to give them all away to family members, you will have to selfpublish the book as no publisher will produce a book that lacks a substantial arket.
