Is it worth publishing your fiction on your blog?
In 2004 author Dave Wellington began a new blog publishing a serialised horror novel, chapter by chapter. Three years later, Wellington has completed five novels in this manner, and is nearing the end of the sixth, and he has been offered publishing contracts for four of his novels.

Print on Demand technology
Also known as Publish on Demand, POD is increasingly being used by authors to print small numbers of books on topics that have too small an audience to interest a traditional publisher, or even a small press publisher. It's also reviving previously published books now out of print.

Self publishing options
You're in good company if you decide to go the self-publishing route. Tolstoy and James Joyce, amongst many others, were once self published. But, as with anything that involves the dreams of others, the self publishing industry attracts its share of those who see a way to exploit the unwary.
