Why Do Others Create Books?

As I have spoken with authors over my 28 years in publishing, I am amazed at the various reasons why people write books.
Few, it would seem, are writing for money. Most want to enter the publishing industry for various other reasons.
For some, it is the prestige of a "traditional" publisher.
For others, it is enough to self-publish and have people read their writing.
For others, it is leaving a legacy for their family and friends.
Whatever reason you write, and go through the arduous process of securing a copyright, an ISBN number, getting a cover design, getting your copy edited,
etc., I am here to say, IT IS WORTH IT!
Keep writing, keep going forward, and the final book will present you with joys not yet imagined.
