Customer Service in Self-Publishing

Business Week’s currently published cover feature examines the positive business development of 25 top performing companies through continued dedication to Customer Service despite the bleak economy.

Your self-publishing choice should at the least demonstrate that in providing you with professional consultant and author representative who will work with authors personally through the process – a good question to ask in your research upfront. Be wary of those houses that hound with sales calls upfront only to leave authors staring at a computer screen once they have your money. Great self-publishing options, ones dedicated to helping you see your book’s successful even after publication, may even provide ongoing support. It never hurts to ask.

These are very good things to consider in light of positive book sales trends in this less than thriving economy.
