Publish Your Own Book

The reasons for wanting to publish your own book–and the rewards that come from doing so–are myriad. Some authors seek to publish their own books for career advancement. Often, these writers are experts in a certain profession or hobby and believe a market exists for their hard-earned knowledge. A writer like this may decide the idea for his or her book after searching for a similar book and coming up empty-handed.

“I can’t believe I can’t find a good book about designing jigsaw puzzles,” this expert might say–a sentiment closely followed by, “Perhaps I should write one.” These hobbyists and professionals discover a void and have the knowledge and ambition to fill it. Their expertise can earn them many rewards; publishing a book may turn an aficionado into a paid expert overnight. Authoring a book makes you a bit of an “authority” on your subject, and authorities are often in great demand.

Many of the books we publish at Ithaca Press are non-fiction works such as How To books, self-help books, motivational books, and “industry insider” books–all enormously popular genres. Of course, not all the books we publish at Ithaca Press are so factual. Some are novels, children’s books, or memoirs.

Publishing these works creates an emotional and even spiritual reward.

Imagine publishing a children’s book that you dedicate to your own kids and place in their school library. If you’re part of a big family, imagine publishing your family’s history–then giving a copy of the book to every cousin, aunt, or grandchild. Ithaca Press will help you publish a professional book of which you can be proud. See www.IthacaPress.com and request a quote.
