But successful writers and authors have done so many times. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve licked their wounds, tended to their bruises and climbed back up into the saddle.

One of the easy options offered to hopeful authors today is the fee-based publishing service option.

They don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do anything to help you grow as a writer or as an author. They take more away from you than just your money. They give you an easy way out of the frustrating, difficult process of authorship. They publish your book for a fee and then toss you to the wolves. In the process, you have not been encouraged or guided in how to make your book the best that it can be. You know nothing or little about the publishing industry and how you fit into it. You are not prepared for the reality of your promotional responsibilities. And you are trying to sell a book that may not be ready for an audience and that is often too high priced to sell. <\/p>\n
