Authors, computers have revolutionized the publishing world.
What does that mean to you?
That means you now have more choices: Traditional Publishing, Print on Demand Publishing, or Self-Publishing.
Traditional Publishing can be reluctant to invest in unknown writers because of the cost involved. An advantage of the traditional publisher is they will place your book in bookstores.
Print On Demand Publishers are often more willing to publish the works of an unknown writers. This is an advantage. As a new independent writer I chose to go with a POD publisher.
The disadvantage is POD publishers may not advertise your book, except for a listing on their website. Have YOU tried to find a horse or pony book that way?
Self-Publishing gives the writer complete control, but also sole responsibility.
As a writer how do YOU advertise your book? That was my dilemma also.
I went looking.
I tried advertising on an on-line horse site. The price was reasonable but the site sold horses, tack, farms, trucks and trailers.
Books just aren’t the priority of horse sites and their customers.
I built a webpage, which unfortunately was too insignificant for search engines to find.
I couldn’t find a site dedicated to selling independent writer’s horse books. So I created one.
Books are our priority at Sharon's Corner Bookstore. I love books and the people who write and read them. I am dedicated to helping self-published, print on demand published and small-press published equine writers.

John has held my hand through three editions of my book. I knew nothing about self-publishing and he was kind, helpful, and the end result was very professional, the turnaround was quick, and the price was very competitive. When I print my new book I'll be talking to him about it! You couldn't ask for better service.

"Davina Andree
is a remarkably talented graphic designer who specializes in creating websites for horsepeople, being a horsewoman herself. What I believe sets Davina apart is that she has a tremendous ability to listen to the needs and desires of her clients and extract the essence of who they are and what they offer. No two sites resemble her own personal style, rather that of who she represents. Connie Funk "Beauty feom Brokenness"
