The updated edition of my memoir, Autofellatio, which brings us to the present day, is now on sale at Amazon.com (US customers, $2.99) and Amazon.co.uk (1.71 GBP.
It is downloadable in a variety of formats: Kindle, iPad, iPhone, Android and Blackberry. Also available as Kindle for PC and MAC (to read on your computer, free application download on the book page).
In the more 'orthodox', and shrinking publishing world, writers, and especially unknown writers, now have a new platform from which to put out their work. Now, you can do it yourself. DIY, which for me, as a teenager during London's Punk era, is natural.
As for publicising your book, small, independent publishing houses do not furnish one with a PR team, in any case, and expect their authors to do all the 'donkey work', while taking 90% profits.
I see the ebook revolution as both democratic and empowering. Moreover, it has enabled me to 'give birth' to this particular baby, and move forwards with another project. Self-publishing for the first-timer can be fraught: you are the editor, the proofreader, the cover designer and co-publisher. It's a new frontier, but it means that books that fall into a 'niche market' -- which today means anything that will not automatically sell many thousands of copies -- may now be available and read.
