Meanwhile, follow the links above to get started in building up your readership in the Digital Ages of publishing. This is the work that publishers used to do back in the pre-internet Dark Ages of publishing, which is literally an extension of the actual Dark Ages when only Bibles were considered suitable for publication. And guess who ramped up the demand for Bibles leading up to the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg around 1440 — why Holy Mother Church, of course. Here at ePubGuru.com, we strive to operate more peacefully and productively for the benefit of believers and non-believers alike.
Nowadays, authors are free to be their own publishers, a freedom which brings with it the responsibility to take up the various functions of publishing should they choose to exercise this newfound freedom. Chief among these responsibilities is marketing. Fortunately along with the freedoms afforded by the internet comes the automation afforded by internet software. It’s too late for traditional publishers to learn this new technology because it renders them obsolete.
Welcome to the Age of Set and Forget!
