Many of
you will know by now that BIS Publications
(http://www.bispublications.com/) set up a sister company BIS
Publishing Courses (http://www.bispublishingcourses.co.uk/) and
during 2011 started delivering publishing courses for authors who
want to self publish successfully.
For the
last few years we have experienced a noticeable increase in the
amount of manuscripts sent to us on a daily basis. They come at a
time when more and more bookshops and book-chains are closing down
around in the UK. In the last few years we have seen the closure of
Borders UK, Books etc. Ottakar's, which was taken over by Waterstones
and then the reduction of Waterstones branches. Specialist bookshops
in the African / African Caribbean community have not faired any
better as many of them have also closed down over the last few years.
I
mention the above as an introduction to why we set up the publishing
courses. It is our belief that even, though for some this could be
the hardest time to try and get their book(s) published for others
this is a great and exciting time to have their book(s) published.
This could be a great and exciting time for you to if you know what
you are doing.
We set
up the BIS Publishing Courses is to help all of those who have been
sending their manuscripts to publishers with the hope that they will
publish their work. Unfortunately this becomes more of a dream than a
reality. There are many reasons publishers will not take on authors
work, believe it or not most times it’s not due to the work
(manuscripts it self). Some of the reasons are highlighted on our
courses (http://www.bispublishingcourses.co.uk/).
You may
be thinking that with bookshops shutting down and many publishers not
signing authors, so what’s the point in writing a book?
Remember
what I said earlier, that this is a hard time for some, but great and
exciting time for others. As a self-published author you can save
yourself a lot of time and heartache if you know what you are doing.
Technology has made becoming a successfully self-published author so
much easier than any other time in history.
On the
BIS Publishing courses we will show you how using modern technology
you can self publish successfully even if your a technophobe. We will
show you the most cost effective ways to publish your book and also
show you how to reap huge profits from the sales of your book, plus
much much more.
