ANSWER: As the publishing industry becomes controlled by a small number of huge corporations, it is increasingly difficult to get any book published. Even excellent self-help books have difficulty finding a publisher, and many that are published are only printed in very small quantities. Publishers today make most of their profits off a few best-selling books that they extensively market, while all their other books they tend to ignore. With SelfHelpBooks.com your book has a higher likelihood of being published, and is immediately available worldwide to millions and millions of potential readers through the net, and can generate a higher royalty rate.
