In this second edition of "The Economical Guide to Self-Publishing," Linda Radke of Five Star Publications shares what writers need to know to self-publish successfully without breaking the bank. It's based upon the premise that by self-publishing, an author will get his work to readers faster, maintain control, and make more money. "While 'The Economical Guide to Self-Publishing' gives writers the nuts and bolts of publishing, such as copywriting, acquiring an ISBN, editing, typesetting, printing and distributing, etc., in an easy-to-digest manner, it doesn’t end there. Readers also receive an invaluable arsenal of conventional — and sometimes unconventional — methods for marketing, promoting and obtaining free publicity," Sue Defabis, project manager at Five Star Publications, told TDmonthly.

"[Author] Murray-Gibson was born in Monrovia, Liberia, [and] has actively supported the cause of literacy and education for the people of her homeland. She also volunteers for a number of charities in and around her current hometown in Minnesota. Her book is also dedicated to the children of Liberia, and Murray-Gibson has planned to donate the proceeds from Clara and Mr. Twiddles to build schools and clinics around the rural areas of Liberia — an area that has been extremely impoverished by an 18-year war.
