Free Publisher ? Any free Publishers? - KatyCat - 05-19-2014 05:04 AM
Please anyone I have already written a book over 200-300 pages, please please does anyone know any company that publish your book. I was told that there are companies you send the smmary of your book to then they agree or not if the story is good enough o be sold. Is there any free company that publish your book even if its reallllly good for free without any charges ??? if yes please mention them .

You are thinking OLD SCHOOL! You are young and should know better. Here's what you might consider to do. For 12 dollars a year, you can make your own website by going to hostgator.com You tell people about your book on that website. But they need a way to BUY the book from your website, don't they? Now go over to selz.com ... They will set you up with a BUTTON on your website for people to purchase your book! I just learned about this myself by listening to a youngster named Srinivas Rao on his audio-blogs website called.... unmistakablecreative.com You don't need no stinking publisher to accept or reject your book! Do it yourself!

Yes- Createspace.com will publish your book for not one cent out of your pocket. The only thing you will pay for is your own copies of the book when you order them. You retain all the rights to your work. This isn't the only company that does this---lulu.com and other "on-demand" publishers do the same thing--but some will charge fees for submitting it--read the site's instructions carefullly. Createspace.com doesn't charge you anything.
This is called on-demand or self-publishing. If you want a commercial publisher to publish your book you will have to get a literary agent, or submit your manuscript or sample chapters to the publisher through their systems--it is not guaranteed you will be published, though. Most publishers don't take un-solicitied manuscripts or book proposals without an agent. You can try Adamsmedia.com for direct submission--they have specific book needs and yours might fit into their genre.
