Well, I have finally done it. After much deliberation and research I have decided to self-publish my novel, Ascent of the Holy Blade. At first I felt the need to pursue the traditional form of publishing by being "picked-up" by a big publisher, but after doing some soul-searching and a receiving a few suggestions, I believe that self-publishing is the route to go.
I chose a small publishing company in Marshall, MI called 2 Moon Press after spending the better part of two years shopping around. 2 Moon was one of the first companies I looked at but I kept an open mind and kept looking around. I always came back to 2 Moon though. The number of satisfied authors they had, little to no bad press about them, the fact that they seemed to constantly be upgrading their equipment and their staff, and finally their commitment to the local community seemed to say this is the one. So two weeks ago I made an appointment with their CEO after they reviewed my manuscript and agreed that it fit their publishing requirements.
After visiting the establishment and meeting with Don and his staff, my wife and I felt that 2 Moon would be a good fit for our goals. I work a twelve hour rotating work schedule that makes it sometimes difficult to find time to do extra things and 2 Moon has a package where they do your editing, layout, cover design, and marketing which was the real clincher for me.
The future is a blank page and with my partnership with 2 Moon Press I feel the story that will unveil itself will be a great adventure. I am very excited about this partnership and eventually holding my book in my hands.
