Bypass the Agent

Has anyone here ever just paid to have your book published than took to the road and marketed your work?If so how much did it cost to get your books published and how did you market your book?
  I have a children's book of poetry I believe in and I think I would have an easier time selling my book at children's festivals than I am having finding an agent.

I have been told to check out lulu.com if I want to make the paper book myself. If you have the time, visit the site.

Lulu is great I have several friends who have published their own books there.. both in hard copy and ebook format.

Something else to think about is self publishing your book in ebook format for kindell users, and the like. No agent necessary :)

I have checked out Xlibris Self Publishing, but they charge alot and many authors were not happy witht eh quality of their books.  When I told them I needed a day to think about their special offer, they told me taht they would call me back the next day.  They waited a month to call me back and the offer was expired. I wouldn't try them again.

I've heard it can be difficult to find an agent. I'd try going to readings in your area and talking to the authors - see if you can find an "in" that way. I believe most want to tak on previously published (not self-published) authors. Good luck! This is something I'm trying to figure out right now!

I don't blame you for not going with them. They charged me $1,500 and did not do any editing to my book nor did they do any kind of marketing with it which had been in the contract. Now every time they call me they want a minimum of $500 to do anything with it. Be smart do not go with Xlibris self publishing company.
