Are you thinking about self publishing but don’t know where to start? Maybe you’ve already got a book “out there” but are struggling with branding, markets, your author website – any number of things. You’re in luck – there’s a website for all that.

Bookbaby will help you publish in all the major eBook markets, print books, build a website and more. Like anyone else who is going to do all the business work for you, they charge you an upfront fee. Is it worth it? I guess that depends on you. Bookbaby is based in Portland ,Oregon and is part of of a family of publishing businesses. They don’t offer anything that you can’t do for yourself but much of what they do would take a new author time, energy and a lot of trial and error to learn.

So here’s the best part of this little blog. Right now, Bookbaby is running a sweepstakes and the prize is an eBook and printed book publishing package! If you win – you get to try them out for free! (I love free…)

Thanks to C. Hope Clark for the heads up on this. She’s a great friend to writers everywhere and a heck of an author herself! Drop by her website and tell her thanks!
