Current: Publishing for a very narrow niche.

No upfront costs
All you need is Word.
Or for free: LibreOffice or OpenOffice—not quite as good.
Templates: free.
Nopublishing costs except optional test copy.

Vanity, self or micro?
Vanity publishing: Big bucks, claimed real publishing, no promotion or bookstore sales.
Micropublishing: No bucks, you’re the publisher, optional extras.
Self publishing: Traditionally, big bucks. Now, micropublishing can do it for less.

Passive: Provide the book.
Supportive: Help build editing/writing circles.
Active: Library as micropublisher
Academic libraries: Print versions of library-published ejournals? Virtual academic presses?
Library roles for micropublishing

Write Gooder, Not Worser
Get the words right

You’re always using styles and templates—whether you know it or not.
Styles aid consistency and make for easy change.
Overcome stylephobia
