“I always used to think that publishers had to be devilish intelligent fellows, loaded with the grey matter, but I’ve got their number now. All a publisher has to do is write cheques at intervals, while a lot of deserving and industrious chappies rally round and do the real work. I know because I have been one myself. I simply sat tight in the old flat with a fountain pen, and in due season a topping, shiny book came along.”
What is this thing called “self publishing?”

Welcome to Legacy Book Solutions
August 18th, 2009I still remember the first time I created a book.
I say “created”, because I was not the publisher. That honor went to my employer at the time. I was not the author. That honor went to one of my colleagues. No, I had the honor of managing the project. I set (and reset) the deadlines. I edited and proofed and rewrote. I contacted vendors, gathered quotes, coordinated efforts, solicited feedback, weighed options and made decisions.
