This is an excellent thread Ruby. Lots of good information.

I wrote an ongoing column for years in Nugget Magazine. Through the years I pretty much focused on articles to promote my various adult venues. Instead of getting paid most publishers gave me ad space or the ability to plug my products & services.

I’ve been asked to write books and I will, however I will most likely self publish and promote. I am already established and have a pretty good size mailing list. The work I do is very niche so it in itself has its own market. If at all possible I highly recommend focusing on a niche that you’re into and building a following because it guarantees books sales.

The book I am working on now I will actually print because of the type of book and it’s a tad cultish. It all plays in with the concept.

If you’d like to print your books check out www.lulu.com They even have a lady who you can hire to do proof reading. It’s a great service.
