I have said for some time to others that it takes much longer for the production process of a book to take place than it takes me to write one. Depending on the publisher you use it can take close to a year before you will have the finished product in your hot little hands and its released to the public.

Some of the self-publishing publishers may take much less time time depending on what services you want them to cover in your contract. Some have movie possibilities, overseas book fairs, and a whole string of services provided. But be aware that with more added services the publishing fee goes up.

The publisher I have used this time, and I have used them before, offered three different “packages” and by now I have realized that much of what is offered I don’t need. So I went with a cheaper package…
