It's so easy to publish your book today

In good old days it was only the 'chosen ones' who wrote and published books. When you submitted a manuscript for publishing, you would get a cold response - we will contact you after six months. Please do not contact us before that.

Today, anyone who choses to write and publish a book, he/ she can do it. I can tell this from my own experience.

I contacted the Amazon guys for their print on demand self publishing facility and they allocated me a publishing agent (John Rizzo); what followed was a step by step discipline.

Of course I have yet to see my 'baby' on Amazon; but I am sure it will appear on it one day.

The publicity description they wrote was wonderful (I am sure I would not be able to write it in similar finesse).

Just have a look how easy the flow of language is of what they created:

For every CEO and president who has ever wondered what can be done about employee attrition and dissatisfaction comes a not-so-implausible corporate tale of creative brainstorming and one CEO’s determination to effect change.

Can employee happiness be found on the way to Corporate Social Responsibility? Utilizing a John Galt-like character, author Prabodh Sirur gives us PN, a CEO who realizes that employee satisfaction is not linked to bonus programs or company picnics but is created by providing environments in which employees’ talents, skills, and passions can be discovered and unfolded.

In the Wonderland of Talent Management-A Corporate Fairy Tale is an innovative, inspirational work that puts forth the premise that employee self-fulfillment need not be a fantasy. It can, Sirur believes, be the key that leads to an increase in employee retention, improved community relations; and for a company, an increasingly positive image and improved bottom line.
