Self-Publishing and Free ISBN for All Literary Works: A Relief
Well, you see one more point that can help the writer is to become a self-publisher and distributor. The usual way is
that you publish at least 500 copies from your home country. The ISBN is a free if you just click on the International ISBN agency with name of your country. Just send them an application that you want to register your publication house. It is easy if you are the sole proprietor (M/S). Otherwise, the process may be long. They register it without any fee and send you a list of ISBN numbers for each of your publication.
You have to send your ISBN number before publishing, once you receive it, you can publish your book. Then there are free websites helping writers to promote their works, so that the readers may contact them. The ISBN is a self-promoting way for each book. You may place books on the book stalls, libraries, ask the librarian about the bulk orders, the salesman can sell your book with some commission. Keeping ISBN for all works is good.
The ISBN is same in most of the countries. I wish all the writers well for this somewhat easy going work as I have noticed that most of the writers are working laboriously, but without results. If you keep on sending your written material for acceptance one day, you may regret. The published submissions are only 5-15%.
However, in your home country, you may go for better results. This is one of the cheap and risk free way for self-publishing. I hope so, and wish you all the best for your future. Please accept that the writers are literary assets of world, and thus they may go ahead for getting their books published to keep the child within, the original writer always alive.
