Secrets of MicroPublishing: For Those Who Aspire to Publish

Micropublishing is neither fish nor fawl. It falls between the two stools of self-publishing and small (but larger) indies. Micros might only publish a few books a year but they operate with their own logic, have distinct goals, and use tools different from either small presses or self-publishers. As such, a micropublisher struggles to get appropriate information.This book is unique in that it lays out what a micropress is, how it differs from either the self-publisher or the indie press, and how it can best operate. It is friendly and personal, honest about mistakes to avoid and, above all, highly informed and experienced.This book is an excellent guide for those who want to explore professionalising their publishing, for businesses which want to use micropublishing to grow organically, for colleges and creative writing co-ops that want to share their works more widely, and for those who want to start their own publishing company.
