How to self Publish or Print A Book?

I have a small kids book I would like to publish, and/or have printed. How do I go about doing this?

STOP before you even consider Publish America. If you go to Absolute Write Water Cooler Bewares and Background Checks yoiu will find there are so many complaints against Publish America that they have their very own forum with over 57 THOUSAND POSTS worth of complaints!!!

Why would you want to self publish when the average sale for a self published book is 100??

If you believe in your book and in yourself, you owe it to your book to try traditional publishing. It takes longer, and it is harder, but it is the proper route.

I have starred many great Q and A regarding publishing and writing on my profile. Many professionals have come here and offered great information. Surf through them and pick some that offer good information that will help you.

But whatever you do, stay away from self Publishers. They routinely turn up in Top 10 Worst Publisher Lists on Writers Beware sites. They will publish anything as long as your check clears. But it will be a low quality job, it will take forever and it will NOT be for sale in bookstores.
