It has been three days since I got the idea to create my own publishing company. I started it originally to be able to publish my book, but since then it has evolved into an exciting business opportunity.
Aside from my books, I want to help others publish their books. As an added feature, I also figured I could create a quote permission service. I know from experience it is somewhat tricky to track down permission, and as far as I know there is no one offering this service, so I am going to offer that as a service.
I also realized I could use my new company to find budding authors and make collections of short stories and poetry. People could submit these, I could put it together as a book and promote it, and then they can buy copies at a reduced rate so they can sell copies themselves and make some money.
What is great about all of this is I can do most of it on the web, so I can do it if I am on a trip.
As to the book, I spend a good chunk yesterday doing a final read. I am almost done with the read, and then I will need to incorporate the changes. I am still waiting on the final three quote permissions, but fear I will have to remove two of them all together. I am planning to be ready to go to print within 2 weeks.
I registered my Sassy Sunflower Books company, and have a few more steps to finalize my application with Lightning Source.
I don't know exactly what I am doing with all of this, but more then ever, I am feeling good about it all, empowered, taking it a step at a time, and determined to learn whatever I need to learn. Whatever happens, I will learn and grow and am so thankful for.
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts to help me proceed?
