I was just searching Net for something and found my previous book listed on websites of major stores and sites. This brings back good memories, the joy of publishing a book and being recognized. Writing and publishing a book is a long time consuming process but the joy it brings at the end cannot be described in words. Book writing process can be broken down into phases:
1. Idea
2. Research
3. Writing manuscript
4. Deciding whether to go with a traditional publisher or self publish!
4. In case of traditional publisher: Reviewing and editing the book several times before it is ready for publishing --- In case of self-publishing: Reviewing and editing the book 3X more than the traditional approach, getting the book proof-read, bringing in a technical reviewer, designing book cover, composing, layout, release
5. Marketing: Whether you chose the traditional publisher or self-published, you need to take care of the marketing yourself. Traditional publishers don't do it for you.
