Synopsis

Learn how to self-publish in this easy-to-read guide.

If there are two words that typically come to mind when writers consider self-publishing, they are freedom and overwhelming. You can publish what you want, when you want, how you want, but there are so many choices to make and details to be thought through that it can feel overwhelming. This guide walks you through the process of self-publishing (also called indie publishing), taking away the fear and uncertainty about what to do and, hopefully, preventing many novice mistakes along the way. This isn’t a book about writing a book (especially not writing one in thirty days with the expectation that you can then retire on the profits). It’s a book on how to get from a finished manuscript to a professional quality book published on common retailers, including Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform (KDP), Apple Books, Kobo, and others, and how to go about getting into bookstores and libraries.

We’ll cover such topics as:

• How to schedule and budget for your book launch

• How to find and hire an editor and cover designer

• How to build your book—formatting and file types—for print and ebooks

• Going wide or exclusive to KU (Amazon’s Kindle Select program)

• How to launch your book

• How to get your book into bookstores and libraries

• Copyright and ISBNs

• Audiobooks

• And more . . .

This is a guide for those wanting to self-publish well, either their one masterpiece or the thirty-seven books crowding their mind, all eager to escape.
