ALLi (The Alliance of Independent Authors) is the nonprofit professional association for authors who self-publish and want to do it well.

These we can ignore, as we must ignore all self-doubt that interferes with creative output and flow. But valid, work- centered, creative questions also arise: “Do I have what it takes to go it alone and publish well?” “What services and supports do I need?” “What kind of provider is best for me as an author and the book I want to publish?” “How much will it cost me?” “How much can I make? Do I want to make a living at this?” “Who offers the best services for me and this particular project?” It’s not easy. An industry has sprung up We all need editors and good promotional around self-publishing and it’s growing at plans, at a minimum, if we are to do this great speed, with trade publishers who job well. Many others need assistance with traditionally invested in authors now design and production issues and publicity. getting charging for services. This is why author services are now in big demand. To become a self-publisher is to step from one work sector into another. Writing is When demand for any service is high, self-expression; publishing is business, for scammers and schemers circle. -

Silver City Public Library Guide to Self-Publishing Resources
Silver City Public Library Guide to Self-Publishing Resources There are many possibilities for aspiring authors to publish their work independently. Authors can self-publish in various formats—print, e-book, or audiobook. When working with any type of publishing service, make sure to find out what legal rights you are granting the service provider to your work. As an example, the agreements for Amazon’s CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing request permissions to distribute the work globally. However, they state that the authors retain the copyright. The Silver City librarians and self-publishing panelists are not lawyers, so our ability to offer guidance is very limited.
