My self-help book was published
by Robert Courtade   
Rated "G" by the Author.
     

My self-help book is selling well.

I Had My Book Published.

 

    On July 10th 2008 Create Space published my book Self-help for Fear and Anger.  The work explains the Recovery Method used by Recovery Incorporated since the 1930’s.  The book is currently available on Amazon.com.  I also purchase copies of the book myself, as well, to sell or give away.

   After people hear about the book they almost always ask how long it took to write.  The answer is that it took years but I did not work everyday on the book.  I often would spend an hour per day writing about a cognitive or behavioral idea from the system.  Many days there would be no writing.

   The Recovery Method was chosen as the topic because it has helped a lot of patients.  It helps people with severe mental illness but also helps individuals who are only anxious.  The program’s books were written more than 50 years ago and I felt that a modern explanation would help patients.

   After the book was developed there were several re-writes.  Each reading of the book revealed areas that required adjustment.  I had to edit and proofread the book myself.

   Getting a book published requires submission to many literary agents and a lot of rejection.  It can take many years.  An alternative is self-publishing which is expense to the author.  Fortunately, there now is a newer alternative: Print On Demand (POD) publishing.  With POD the book is available on the internet for purchase.  After the book is purchased, a computerized digital process is used to print and ship the book.  There is no inventory of books.

   Some POD companies charge for services. Create Space waives most charges if the person is able to build text and book cover files in the correct digital format.  I was able to build the files needed.  I also retain rights to sell the book to a regular publisher. 

   As a published author I am trying to publicize the book somewhat on the internet as well as in person.  Sales so far have  been very good but it is early.  Feedback from readers has been very positive.  Knowing that I have been published is very satisfying.  Holding a copy of the book in my hands is something I had always hoped for.
