From author, publisher, speaker, Marshall Chamberlain and The Grace Publishing Group, Creative Self-Publishing in the World Marketplace reveals the what, why, how, when, and how much it takes to effectively self-publish on a shoestring.

Chamberlain, a Fort Myers Beach waiter, outlines the economics of book production, use of common software in book formatting; effective, do-it-yourself website development; dynamic use of the Internet; and promotional practices that empower successful self-publishing. Writers of any genre or subject, from booklets, novels, and poetry to dissertations, anthologies and journals can level the publishing field of play.

Dan Poynter, the recognized guru of self-publishing, says in the Foreword of the book, "Chamberlain … outlines the knowledge and teaches the skills necessary to take control … develop and implement the plans and promotion programs necessary for success …"

Senior Editor, Cindy Penn, awarded Creative Self-Publishing in the World Marketplace the "WordWeaving.com Award for Excellence" (http://www.wordweaving.com/frameindex.html).
