About the Project
The Open Publishing Guide is a resource driven website that provides you with information on the process of self-publishing. This site will help you research all aspects of self-publishing including book planning, creation, design and publishing. At this site you will find:
- Tools to assist you to move your self-publication from an idea to a tangible item
- A glossary of terms relating to publishing information on publishing, design, copyrights and printing
- Latest news relating to the most current publishing trends
- Video tutorials to help you through the publishing process
- Book production templates to assist you in the making of your publication.
The Open Publishing Guide also provides guidance to select the self-publishing sites that will accommodate your idea, material and project. Our Self-Publishing Advisor software helps you choose the right on-demand publisher for the goals of your project.
The goal of the site is to assist you in self-publishing your work. We hope the site is helpful in making your idea come to life.
