Call a 1-800 Number and Publish Your Book.

Self-publishing companies have skyrocketed in the past decade—in some cases surpassing the annual number of titles a traditional publisher puts on the shelves.

By offering would-be authors a toll free phone number, writers now have the opportunity to speak to author representatives and editors about self-publishing and print-on-demand options for nonfiction, novels, how-to books, and even calendars.

With a publishing company like iUniverse (1-800-AUTHORS) writers no longer have to wait for literary agents and publishing houses to negotiate contracts. They submit their work, have it published and within a few months their work is listed on Amazon and available through Barnes and Noble.

1-800 phone numbers, once used by a core group of major corporations, are now used by all types of businesses for every kind of service and consulting opportunity. Toll free 800, 888, 877, and 866 numbers connect people with similar interests or in need of specialized services anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. In this case, would-be authors can connect with publishers and have their books on the shelves in just a few months.

1-800 numbers give online companies an edge over the competition by allowing customers to call a free number for information on the product. This type of personal service is key to a successful business. Customers may have a variety of questions and wish to hear all about the options available. Speaking directly to a company representative about the product, shipping options, and availability of the item provides a sense of security in the product and lends legitimacy to the business.

Business owners or company representatives who are away from their office will never have to worry about missing a call. With a 1-800 number secured by a reputable and comprehensive service provider such as Tollfreenumber.ORG, calls can be routed to any phone. A salesperson on the road will pick up the call as easily as if he is sitting in his office.
