Summary

Do you want to successfully self-publish in eBook, print, or audiobook formats?

There are thousands of new books being published every day, but many self-published books quickly sink to the bottom of the pile.

Many authors are frustrated because there are so many options for self-publishing, and they don't know which one to choose or what will be best for their book.

Others spend thousands of dollars to publish and end up brokenhearted with the result. 

But it doesn't have to be this way. 

I've spent the last seven years self-publishing best-selling fiction and nonfiction books and in 2011, I left my day job to become a full-time author entrepreneur. I've made lots of mistakes along the way, but through the process of self-publishing 17 books, I've learned the most effective way to publish and market your books. In this book, I'll share everything with you.

The book includes: 

  • What you need to know before you self-publish 
  • Why self-publishing an eBook is a good idea
  • How to format an eBook 
  • Exclusivity and going direct
  • How to self-publish an eBook 
  • Why self-publish a print book 
  • Print-on-demand will change your life
  • What you need to know before you print 
  • How to self-publish a print book
  • What to do if you want help with the publishing process
  • How to self-publish an audiobook
  • After self-publishing 
  • How much does it cost to self-publish? 
  • How do you get paid when you self-publish? 
  • Book marketing principles 
  • How to market fiction 
  • How to market nonfiction 

Plus, links to more useful resources. 

If you're ready to successfully self-publish, then buy this book now.

Very Helpful

This book has been a great guide for me during my journey to self-publication. I'm pretty certain I will continue to dip in and out of it again in the future.

Relevant help for authors

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve written one, two or even three books, help is always appreciated in my experience. I have published one non fiction book, and didn’t have the know how to boost sales. Also, the subject was traumatic, so I couldn’t say “I hope you enjoy my book”. Now I’m about to publish my first historical fiction book (8 years after first book), and Joanna Penn has saved the day for me with this book. It cements into your mind everything that needs doing right up to and after publication day. A book to keep close at hand!

Useful tips

I think this would be great for new self-published authors. As an author with several books out, it didn't really teach me anything I don't already know but if you're new at this, it's packed full of really important info and helpful tips.
