You are right, writers who are not yet published authors are intimidated and overwhelmed by the publishing gauntlet. I know I am. I am a DIY. I even took courses in community college to design my own book covers. I chickened out of self publishing when the market crashed and my liquidity disappeared. I am a writer. I am also an artist. I am not a business person. I am scared half to death to try this self publication venture but there comes a time when you have to make up your mind do you want to share the work or not. If you do you have to take action. Not making the decision is to deside. I am interested, due to self preservation issues, in establishing a LLC and a nome de plume. Did you cover those topics in previous articles or are you going to do so in the future? Thank you for the insights.

I started a company about 6 months ago. I went on the internet and learned what was out there in the way of information needed. I spent many hours researching. I chose my company name and then checked with the government on trade names, etc. to find if any other outfit was already using the name. No one was so I was good to go. I discovered Bowker and jumped on board. As soon as I registered with Bowker and subsequently purchased a bank of 10 ISBN's (at $25 each) I received a card in the mail from a printing company in St. Louis fishing for my business. Wow! Bowker is quick! Keep up the good work Ladies and Gentlemen of the self-publishing world.
