How to Publish a Book

Publishing a book used to be a long and laborious task, which involved contacting risk-averse publishers and receiving rejection after rejection. However, Xlibris, a leading self-publishing firm, now gives you the knowledge of how to publish a book with ease.

Xlibris is a one-stop shop for turning your manuscript into a published book. All you need is a manuscript – we do the rest!

Let’s go through the brief steps below:

• First, see our website at www.xlibris.com, and take a look at the different publishing packages that we offer. These range from simply turning your MS into a book, to more complex packages that offer a spectrum of features and marketing services.
• Choose a publishing package that matches your interest and budget. While this is entirely up to you, we can explain more about each package and feature. Just pick up the phone and call us on our toll-free number, 1-888-795-4274. You will be given a publishing consultant who will help you initiate the process of becoming part of the Xlibris family.
• Make sure your manuscript is ready for publication. This means giving it several final readings to make sure everything is just right, and ideally, having it proofread by someone trustworthy. We have professional editing specialists in-house, who can give advice on your manuscript or simply check it for errors.
• Lastly, once you have decided on a package, and feel that your manuscript is ready to become a book, send it to your publishing consultant. We take care of things from this point, but all decisions about your book are up to you. The front cover, back cover, layout, and font size are all decided by you. We of course can give suggestions, but at every point in the process, we never forget that it’s YOUR book.

Xlibris has been helping writers become published authors since 1997, and has now worked with over 50,000 authors and more than 75,000 titles. We publish a vast range of genres, including romance, mystery, self-help, sci-fi, and horror, as well as personal memoirs, business literature, and cookbooks.

Books published through Xlibris are distributed online worldwide, and can be ordered through Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, over 15,000 other online retailers, and of course through Xlibris itself. We publish books in hardcover, paperback, and e-book versions.
