I have now spoken to a local self-publishing company who will charge me R3 500,00 (about $730), to print a book. The book is, in my humble opinion, a work of excellent Christian fiction. I have no platform and no newsletter, but due to my position in my church, I have access to the postal address of every congregation of the church country wide. Once the book is published, I will not feel guilty, as if abusing the church, as I believe that many of my fellow parishioners will very much enjoy reading the book. Or do you think that I should stick to the old proven policy of only dealing with royalty paying publishers? Hi Randy
