Jeru Publications: Free Marketing and Publishing Information for Authors-Jeru Publications

It was the year 2007 that I first decided I wanted to write a book. I don't know if I really believed I could achieve this at that time but I surely began writing the book. Owning and operating a family day care in my home for many years and creating my very own worksheets for children was the driving force that drew me to creating the work book The Alpha Curriculum.

Parents were astonished at the way their children were learning. I taught children, Spanish, numbers, reading, writing, bible verses, the alphabet, shapes, colors, how to write their name and just anything I thought would help them when they entered kindergarten.

I'll be honest this was a project I sort of put off and put off. Years later I decided to pick this back up. Please understand that writing a book takes time and it is not easy. I saw friends of mine that published their book and decided it was time to finish what I had started. After doing my research and learning from other authors that self publishing was what they thought a bad idea. I took a chance and self published my book. I am very glad I made that choice.

After I published my second book which is a children's story book (Strawberry Shortcakes and Lemonade) I decided that I would establish my very own Publishing Company because by this time people that I know would ask me how I did it. I freely give advice but being the entrepreneur that I am I thought I could professionally help them create, distribute, and market their book.

Today I can proudly say that sales are at their highest. I make attempts everyday to market my book and efforts are endless.

What I want authors or someone that is venturing out into the book publishing world to know is that to write a book is one thing but to sale it is another. To say you wrote a book is fine but it takes work to sell it.
