Before reading further, if you would like to become your own publisher of e-books, rather than giving away the exclusive rights to your one-of-a-kind literary works and risk putting them into the hands of those who may or may not have your best interests in mind, it is not difficult to do so.  With a little time and the spirit of an entrepreneur, you can start your own on-line business, whether it be e-books or another passion.  If your passion is writing, you can very easily place your own works in any or all of the distribution outlets listed below.  If you would like a detailed "How-To" summary of how this can be accomplished, please e-mail us at info@beautobeau.com.
