If you’re wondering why you should take this free conference on publishing, and you’re serious about your author career, then just know that as a serious author, it’s your job to know as much as you can about the pluses and minuses of self publishing.

Enter into self publishing with your eyes wide open. If you self publish, that means you’re the publisher and you’re in charge of all the decisions:

  • marketing and sales {the big ones!}
  • but also: layout {a nicely designed book will still be a treasure in 50+ years}
  • book design {see above}
  • proofing {it’s your job to make sure all those pesky typos are caught and fixed; hire a pro to help you if this is your weak spot}
  • author bio {get help! It’s hard to write about oneself.}
  • cover {oh so important — you need professional help on this one too, IMHO}
  • ongoing promotions, like social media, or a newsletter, or a blog tour, or….

Yes, there are a lot of decisions to make way behind how to write an awesome book! So congrats for dedicating yourself to this awesome career, or for just checking it out.

There is no better time to be an indie author!

    I am thinking about writing a book on jewellery making. Have started seeing if there is any interest first. Not sure about self publishing as sales and marketing are not my forte 🙂
