One of my self-publishing experiences is that I
wrote my first book!
The story begins like
this. When I was in college, I was one of the students in the group of talented
bachelors. Out of 300 people, I was in the top 30 talented bachelors of the
school. If I continue to pursue Mathematics - Information Technology of the
School of Natural Sciences, teaching and research work is not suitable for this
field in Vietnam. The only way is to develop and study abroad. But at that
time, I had two paths to choose from. I decided not to follow the teaching
career in Vietnam, because the Vietnamese scientific research environment is
not useful for the work of scientists. Vietnamese scientists do not make much
money, and their salary is not much. They make their living mainly by teaching,
not by doing research.
While abroad,
research and teaching are two parallel professions. At that time, I suddenly
realized one thing, if I continue to follow this path, the only way is to study
abroad. But I wonder, in the end, why did I choose Mathematics? Going back to
the past, I suddenly realized that choosing Mathematics and studying math until
here, even though I was good, was not my true passion. My passion is
Literature, passion to become an author. And that's why I started a business, a
startup in the authoring industry to be exact.
And the first book
that I worked on for more than 3 months to complete. I used to go to the
library to read books, now I go to the library to write books. Then I went to
find publishers, most of them refused. One of the reasons they give is that the
author is too young. I don't know what the word "young" means. When I
was a student, I was really young. But now, I also don't know what the concept
of "young" in the field of book publishing is? Perhaps people think
that the authors must be 40, 50, 60 years old, but those who are under 30 years
old are considered young. I remember, I had to go through somewhere about a
dozen or so publishers, all of whom rejected my manuscript for no apparent
reason. Turning back history, it's true that first-time authors are like that,
JK Rowling has gone through more than 21 publishers and her work is also not
approved until the next publisher. Another author such as Jacken Field, he also
shared that he had to go through more than 10 publishers to disagree.
And I am also in that
fate. At that time, I thought that I had to persevere, or quit this project. I
really want to quit the project, but I feel very sad because it is like my
brainchild being produced, giving it up is like burying my dream. And I decided
to follow the path that I thought any path after that would be fine. I am in
contact with an entity, not a publisher, but a book publisher. The publishing
unit they specialize in publishing books by way of acquisition is not the
publisher. Those are two completely different fields. Because their main role
is to sell books.
When I went to that
unit, they also disagreed. Because of their reasons they disagree because they
think my manuscript has problems. I said, “If my manuscript has problems, I
decide to invest. I decided to become an entrepreneur. He is a businessman, I
am also a businessman, I want to invest money in my work and I am responsible
for all that I invest in my published work. From there, I found my own path.
I first learned the
concept of self-publishing: Self-publishing is self-responsibility for the
process of publishing your book, whether it fails or succeeds. The concept of
the word publishing in the world is very simple, it is called self-publishing.
That concept is similar to the concept of self-help. Self-publishing is not
about doing whatever you want. Are not. The road to publishing is not easy. I
warn you all in advance, book publishing is not an easy path. And
self-publishing is your own responsibility for your book, whether it fails or
succeeds.
At Hoang Gia, we call
it Modern Publishing or modern book publishing. It is different from
traditional book publishing. Going back to the previous story, the book
eventually came out with investments somewhere around 30% of the book's value.
Over the next 6 months, I made money from publishing books, somewhere around 10
million a month. And that was one of my first successes, that book was also a
bestseller. I am honored to win the book that is loved by readers, voted top in
Vietnam. And for that reason, I believe that the path that I become an author
as well as the path of book publishing is an effective path that can help
authors publish books successfully.
And that's the career story about self-publishing. I believe that anyone entering this profession has their own experience. This is one of the experiences that I think is very helpful for all those who publish their books and bring their books to the community.
