Writing on a Topic
If you have advice about a particular business activity or success secrets, writing a book is the best way to educate and inform those who share your interests. Plus, it's a great way to enhance your reputation and improve your professional standing within your industry or community.
“Research is my life. I have degrees in research, I teach research, and I've written books about how to research.
A division of Harper Collins published my first version of Research Strategies in 1990, and it sold 11,000 copies.
But in the late 1990s, when I wanted to update the book, my publisher had other ideas.
That's when my research led me to iUniverse.
Here's what I discovered:
With iUniverse's superior print-on-demand technology, you don't have to worry about production or inventory. The books look great, the process is smooth—combining the best of high-tech and high-touch—and the iUniverse people are responsive and friendly.
So I leapt right to the conclusion to self-publish with iUniverse.
My first updated version of Research Strategies came out in 2000, and I sold almost 5,500 copies. When I wanted to do another update in 2004, it was a breeze, and I've already sold 3,000 copies. The cost benefit of using iUniverse has been tremendous—I've earned almost four times my original cost in royalties from sales of my books.
Most of all, the book has helped me professionally. Research Strategies is well-known among academics and students within my field. It's helped me network with other academic librarians around the world and be appointed to lead an important project for a prestigious academic journal. And now my book is available on Barnes & Noble.com (www.bn.com) and Amazon.com.
So take this researcher's advice: when your book is ready for print, research your options. Odds are, you'll discover iUniverse is right for you.”
