A Newbie's Guide to Publishing

Self-publishing is booming, thanks to eBooks. When you hear stories like Amanda Hocking's 7-figure deal, you know that indie authors are for real. If you're looking to jump into the self-publishing pool, there aren't many blogs better than Joe Konrath's A Newbie Guide to Publishing. Konrath, a successful indie author in his own right, not only helps you learn the ropes, but he also gives convincing arguments why any new author today should go the self-publishing route rather than send manuscripts out to agents and traditional publishers.
