As most writer can verify, it can be extremely difficult to get your ideas, thoughts and stories1 published by an established or well known publishing house. They weed out what might not be popular topics in favor of the popular. After all, they are in the business of selling books. If they do not think a writers work will sell a minimum number of books, they won't get a second look.
1In the last several years the internet has provided a number of alternatives for writers to publish their work to the world without having to submit your work for approval to a publisher. Ebooks have become enormously popular and somewhat of a world wide phenomenon. Virtually anyone can write anything about any subject and make it widely available to anyone on the entire planet who has a computer with internet access.
For those who aren't looking for payment for their work, you can simply type up a simple text document using simple word processing software which comes bundled with your operating system, such as Windows Notepad or Wordpad. After saving the document to your computer you can simply join any number of available file sharing websites and make it available for download. However, if you are looking to make a profit from your writings there are several websites available where you can self-publish. These websites allow you to make your book available as an actually in-hand book or an ebook. They also provide several payment options services and keep your ebook stored on their servers. The cost of self-publishing is usually very reasonable since they only charge a small percentage for each copy sold.
The popularity of ebooks increases every year with the number of people who gain access to the internet via a personal computer, cell phone or other handheld devices. Electronic ebook readers are also becoming extremely popular. They allow you to download and store hundreds of ebooks and read them from a small handheld monitor, which you purchase separately. The convenience of such handheld devices is only expected to increase their sales and the sales of the ebooks available for these devices.
