A novel idea: Print it yourself

YOU’VE spent weeks, months, years, pouring your heart into your novel.

It is your passion and now that it’s written you dream of holding the first hard-backed copy of it — but it has to be published first.

So next is the daunting task of looking for a publisher and literary agent. If you get one or both, you’ll probably have to sign the rights over to them, losing control of your baby — and watch as your hard-earned cash gets split a million ways. Your novel becomes a nightmare.
