Customer Reviews

Right on Target

The Woman's Guide to Self-Publishing is an example of perfect target marketing. Women purchase 68 percent of all trade books. If you aim your message at women, a great majority of the potential buyers will identify with your book. For example, it only took Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul six months to sell as many copies as the original Chicken Soup for the Soul sold in its first three years. Women will listen to women talking about women's issues. This book was made for a woman but is strong enough for a man :) . Highly recommended. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com

SHE HELPED ME!

I would like to say that Donna Murphy helped me big time! Without her help on self publishing I would still be sitting around wondering what to do. She is knowledgeable and patient and I highly reccommend her to anyone who has ever thought of self publishing. Larry D. Hilton / Author of Jujitsu -Nippon Ketsugo Ryu ( realistic self defense )

Well written and extremely well organized, this book is a must read for all authors. Whether you are in the beginning stages of your writing project, or at the end of your journey, The Woman's Guide to Self-Publishing will provide you with the map you need to arrive at your destination prepared and ready for anything.The introduction to publishing and primer on women's needs in particular, is right on target for the women of today. This book arms you with the ammunition you need to conquer your fears and head straight on down the publishing road. There is a production budget, production schedule, list of proofreader's marks, a formula for determining a price for your book, marketing plan, and tips for book fulfillment. This is the first book I have seen with all these tools rolled into one. Truly what it claims to be, The Woman's Guide to Self-Publishing is "a comprehensive guide for helping women understand and pursue self-publishing...". Well done!

An excellent primer.

Murphy's book is filled with practical advice that reflects her own hands-on experience in self-publishing.

A FIRST read for every woman considering self-publishing.

You don't have to wait and hope to be published by a major publishing house. Start publishing your own book. Murphy takes you through each step of the process from start to finish in an easy to read well illustrated format. I wish it was available when I started self-publishing my first book. The guides I used to get started were meager at best in comparison. This book is a winner.
