As 2011 winds down, you may be wondering if December is the right time to self-publish your book. Here are five reasons why it is a great month to start the self-publishing process.
Great Promotion
Many self-publishing companies are getting in the holiday spirit by offering great deals on publishing packages and marketing options.
A Christmas Gift to Yourself
Publishing a book is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. The sense of accomplishment and pride is better than any box of chocolates or new sweater.
Plenty of Time to Market
By starting the self-publishing process in December, you will have your printed book early in 2012. This gives you the rest of the year to market your book.
A Jump Start on Your To-Do List
If you are reading this, “publishing a book” is probably on your 2012 to-do list. Start the year off right by checking it off the list before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.
Be a Part of a Great Trend
According to Outskirts Press, total book sales in the self-publishing industry will exceed 32 billion dollars. You can still be a part of that amazing statistic.
Happy Holidays!

Self Publishing Advisor 
One friend of mine, a motivation and self-help writer, currently has about a dozen titles on Amazon’s Kindle book list, all of which are selling very steadily. Each of these books is short – 20,000 to 25,000 words – and sharply targeted to a single, tightly focused niche. When is the best time to self publish but now!
