It was once said by Edward P. Morgan that "A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. He also added, "It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."

Books are actually published and not given birth. Someone needs to give a form to whatever you have created for others to enjoy. You might think that you will need a lot of space and equipment to get into publishing. It is not the case nowadays.

Online publishing has become popular now. Publishing your novel in print is not necessary nowadays. You can publish it online by making it an e-book. Your work will be seen by millions of people. You can advertise it on such sites as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. You can advertise your work on sites that are not that prominent. A lot of customers search their website for books. They would prefer to buy e-book as it is convenient and cheaper at the same time. There is no need to go to the shop. They can order it and get it delivered to their doors.

What are the main advantages? The cost is quite cheaper when compared to printing a book. There will be a site in the internet to publish your work. Millions of people can see your work. If they want it in print, they can print it themselves or they can just read it on their computer or some device such as a Kindle or Nook Book.

How to proceed further in this business?

One can publish his article online. Ezine.com can truly be a perfect choice. You can also start writing your own blog. If you have already written an e-book, you need to change it to an e-book form and put it on the e-book sites.

One of the good advantages of this type of publishing is that you can change content fairly easy. In the print medium, once your book goes to print, you are committed to that version.

You will surely want to have your own website to publish your work. It will also be easier for people to search for your work.

Going online for your publishing needs just makes sense. Most people are online these days. They go online to search for what they are looking for. That is the reason Amazon.com is doing so well. They not only make your search easier but also provides you result in an interesting manner.
