You can self publish your literary book. This means that you make a connection with a small scale publishing firm. These are often what is a called print on demand. This means that they will only print as many copies as you need. This is great if you only plan to print a few hundred or less. You don't really have to know how to publish a book for these purposes. The company will tell you exactly what to do.

If you need a lot, like thousands, you can order a bulk amount of books from the publishing company. The process is pretty much the same as print on demand deals, except that you will order a large number of books as your minimum order. Where it seems like a more difficult process, this is much cheaper because you are buying in bulk.

Submit to publishers for large scale publishing. If you really think you have what it takes, send your book off to publishers. This is an incredibly difficult way to do it because there are so many writers, but if you really have something special, they will pick up all the publishing costs and you will make royalties on your book.

For those who are not interested in publishing in the more traditional sense, they can do an eBook. These are digital copies, usually in pdf, that can be purchased and downloaded off the internet. Whether it is a literary book or a reference book, this is a great option. This is a great example of how many normal people can make a little money off of their writing.
