HOW TO SELF-PUBLISH YOUR BOOK

A new world has opened to writers who wish to have their words turned into finished books. With technological advances in typesetting, printing, distribution and sales, self-publishing has become a reality. But while converting your writing into a commercially available title may sound relatively easy - based upon the claims of some companies that offer this service - there are many important considerations you should be aware of before going to press. Publishing expert, Dr. Jan Yager, has created an easy-to-follow guide that will take you from a book's conception and writing to its production and sales. Whether your work is fiction or nonfiction, HOW TO SELF-PUBLISH YOUR BOOK offers sound and sensible advice at every turn, enabling you to avoid common pitfalls along the way to becoming a self-published author. The book takes you through the initial manuscript preparation - setting your goals, writing, sequencing, editing and proofing, as well as creating a business plan for your book's eventual release. It, also, explains the importance of cover and interior design, what you need to know about producing physical books and e-books. Finally the book provides key information on how to market and sell your book - subjects that are crucial to a title's success, but, of which, most writers have very little understanding. However you choose to produce your book, whether through a self-publishing company or through separate services, here is a complete picture of what lies ahead – based, not on hype or wishful thinking, but on Dr. Jan Yager's lifetime of experience in the world of publishing.
