About this ebook
I have heard that maybe 10% of the population owns an E-Reader. I’ve also heard that 3% of the population reads books at all. That means your target market is about .3% (That’s point 3 percent). My experience is that almost 100% of the population has hands and eyes and most of them can actually read.
You probably wrote your EBook because you had a desire to write. You worked hours slaving at the computer to get every drop of sweat down on that document.
I bet you even tried to find a publisher or an agent, didn’t you. The literary world has beaten you to a pulp.
Then you uploaded it to become an EBook. When the excitement of having your book published wore off, you started tracking it. Come on, admit it… You logged on several times a day to see if anyone was buying it. What did you make this month on that book, maybe $ 24.00? Now you’re saying, “I did all that for 13 cents an hour?
Time to fight back, Bunkie. Let’s take that EBook and make it into something you can wrap your fist around. Make it a paperback and put hard copy on the bookstore shelves! Let me show you how to make some real money.

Chapter 1 Why Publish a Paperback?
I’m going to show you how to publish market and distribute your paperback for free, right here on Amazon! Like Clint Eastwood, for a few dollars more ($ 25), you can put it on the shelves of the major bookstores. Getting the book in print can be done for free.
Before we begin I want to say that, for your ease of reading I have chosen to publish this book in what’s known as a block text format
used in text books. It’s used in situations where you have to look back and forth between the book and the computer screen and helps you keep track of where you are on the page.
I’m almost embarrassed to write this chapter. Of course you know why you want to publish your paperback. Notice I say, almost embarrassed.
There is more to know about this than meets the eye. The first thing people think about when it comes to publishing is the time and money it takes.
Bear with me for a very few pages while I share my frustrating past life. After that the sun breaks through the gloom and it gets downright cheery, honest. Yours can be looking up as well.
Contrary to the old saying, time is NOT money. If you’re like me, you have a lot more time than money. Most people’s first real effort goes, not into writing the novel, but, into finding a publisher.
In times past you could send a manuscript to a publisher and if they liked it, they would cut you a deal. Imagine how surprised I was when I discovered that times have recently changed.
Publishers don’t accept manuscripts any more. They throw them away along with the junk mail. In fact, they have actually become the publisher’s new junk mail. If you want a rejection letter, you have to put a self-addressed and stamped envelope (SASE) in with the query letter
. Sometimes I think they even eat the SASE.
The world’s thirst for books has given way to video and audio entertainment to the extent that people just don’t read the way they did in times past.
Now the writers just about outnumber the readers for a change and the publishing industry is getting mighty fussy. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting another want-to- be-author.
Publishers require you to have an agent. It’s the agent who submits your work to the publisher, not you. I’ve contacted hundreds of agents. They are a snooty lot.
Never had one even agree to look at my book. They look at you over their eyeglasses, resting near the tip of their nose, their hair in a tight little bun, and ask, Have you ever published a novel before?
Unless you have a platform
most agents and publishers will shun you.
Remember when people would go job hunting and the prospective employer would ask if you have experience? Even if you’re trained, No experience, no job.
It’s become the same in the publishing world. If you don’t have a track record and followers, they won’t hire your book. They want you to provide them with a ready-made customer base. Hey! I thought that was their job.
I have spent hundreds of hours building my platform (My ready-made customer base). I made several web sites. Every time I had a new commercial license in a
