Top 5 Reasons to Self Publish in February

The chaos of the holidays is finally over, and 2012 is just getting started. Like most writers, you probably have “publish a book” on your list of things to do in 2012. Well, February is a great time to make that dream come true. Here are five reasons why.

Promotions

Like most businesses, self-publishing companies offer excellent deals after the holidays. Sometimes, these promotions are even better than the holiday deals. For instance, Outskirts Press is currently offering a $300.00 Mad Money credit that can be applied to any production or marketing option.

Valentine’s Day

Obviously, you could give the gift of self-publishing to someone you love, but what about you? This year, give yourself a Valentine’s Day gift and finally see your book in print.

Time is on Your Side

If you cross publishing off your New Year’s Resolution list in February, you are left with the rest of the year to market your book, begin other projects or just enjoy the satisfaction of publishing a book.

Winter is Still Here

When the nice weather arrives, it can be hard to sit inside working on your book. Take advantage of the winter weather. Spend those hours inside working on your book, and you can accomplish your dream of publishing before all the BBQs and beach trips.

2012 is a Political Year

Having your book published before the general election will make it easier to market. This is especially true for books about hot topics and politics because people will be reading about these topics before the election.
