Okay, so you’ve written a book.

​

You’ve spent countless hours — maybe even years — perfecting your manuscript. It’s slowly evolved from an idea that sparked (perhaps in a dream?) into a full-fledged concept with living characters and story lines.

​

And you did it. You finished it.

​

Now what?

​

Well, you have three options:

​

#1: Do nothing.

​

You’ve written it but don’t have plans to do anything with it. You don’t care if anybody reads it.

Okay, let’s be honest. That doesn’t sound like a productive idea. Most people who’ve written a book don’t just stop because it’s over, which is why most people consider the second option:

​

#2: Seek a publisher.

​

Here’s the problem: seeking out publishers is expensive, time-consuming, and a little discouraging. On top of it all, you’ve got to convince total strangers to read your submission and tell them why your story is the best.

​

In fact, Writer’s Digest recommends you don’t give up on querying with your book unless you’ve queried at least 80 agents.

​

And assuming each query costs you $50, that’s $4,000 alone on submissions! And then you’ve got to consider how long it takes you to write a pitch that’s tailored to each specific publisher.

​

Sure, you’re a writer, but that’s not easy.

​

At this point, many people opt for self-publishing through Amazon or other companies.

This is a fine route, but it has its downfalls, such as lack of editing, marketing, and cover design. Most of the time, writers aren’t able to shell out a couple grand to perfect their work.

​

This is why instead of exhausting your other options, you should try Kentbury.

​

#3: Use Kentbury.
