Welcome to the NASW Marketing and Publishing Resource. These articles aim to help NASW members take advantage of the new opportunities for marketing and publishing their articles and books, whether they self-publish or work with a commercial publisher.
Whether you go with a commercial publisher or self-publish, you must commit yourself to marketing your book to make it a success.
A quality website is your professional face to the world, and fortunately it takes relatively little money and effort to put on a good face.
The savvy use of print-on-demand technology can lead to successful self-publishing.
The design of your book's cover and text is critical to its perception by readers as a quality book. Such design, if done correctly, will require a significant investment, but it is a one-time cost that will pay off handsomely in terms of sales and your reputation as an author/publisher.
Given the considerable frustrations of working with commercial publishers, you may well consider self-publishing your book.
