Self publishing a novel is
very respectable. You are in control of every stage of your novel and can keep
it in print as long as you want. It will never be out of print it’s your
decision. It’s often hard for a new writer to break into the publishing market,
so why not self-publish?

writer to break in and get a novel published, so why not self-publish?
Rewrite your novel before
submitting it for publication. Run each chapter through spell checker and get
someone to read and edit your novel. Check your plot points for weak
construction.
Choose a name and register
your publishing company by applying for a “Doing Business As” (DBA). You have
to file a “fictitious name” or DBA registration form. In some states, you have
to register a DBA with the state government or the county clerk’s office. Get
your ISBN’s for your book. Put your novel on a desktop publishing program and
copy in a PDF format and take it to a printer.
Getting a printer for your novel
will require that you get bids from printers.
Work with printers that have their pricing online and compare prices.
Most printers offer the same thing, so you can read comments about them or even
ask in online publishing communities if anyone has had trouble working with one
of them and what their finished product looked like.
