Seventy percent of American Publishers-about 42,000-are small independents who are often self-publishers. It's a hot industry today and growing hotter all the time. The editors of Entrepreneu r magazine have interviewed leaders from the front lines of the industry to learn the nitty-gritty, hands-on tasks, tips, and tricks of successful self-publishing. Their stories and hard-won experience can smooth the road for you in the $24 billion-a-year industry.
