What is a good, reliable self publishing company?

Hello. I was wondering what is a good self publishing company that is not a scam and is RELIABLE? I've heard rumors about scam companies and would like some suggestions and insights from self published authors and your experiences. I am preferring a company that also includes good marketing and cover design options. Thank you for your help! (Im a 19 year old male in college BTW, interested in creative writing since forever. thanks!)What is a good, reliable self publishing company?

Unless, your bank account is loaded I'd stay far away from self-publishing companies.
I looked into this not so long ago myself, I found an awesome article on a writing site that explained the whole publishing process, it's called Chapteread.com The link is at the top of the site. Good Luck!!What is a good, reliable self publishing company?
Considering that you are still in college, it would be helpful if you also check on your finances that will support your book's publishing plan. I know that Xlibris has programs that are very much affordable and can already get you started. Nothing fancy - just something to start with on your publishing needs (book cover consultation, layout consultation, marketing campaigns).



Xlibris is listed with the Better Business Bureau so there wouldn't be a problem on legality and legitimacy. You can check out their website at http://www.xlibris.com.



I hope this helps.
