Produce,
Price
and Promote Your Self-Published
Fiction or Non-fiction Book and
eBook - 3rd Edition
"Awesome book and
enormously helpful: painstakingly lays
out all the information one needs to self-publish a book, including
options, pros and cons, caveats, and encouragement." - Heidi
Croot
If
you are interested
in this book on self-publishing, I presume you have written a book, or
plan to write one,
and are thinking of self-publishing it. If so,
this is the place to start.
If you self-publish a non-fiction book of interest to a defined target
market, or a book of fiction for people who read the genre you have
produced, you can learn how to produce, price, and promote it to
interested readers.
In addition, you can sell the
print and Kindle version of your book from all Amazons (such
as
Amazon.com, Amazon.ca and Amazon.UK) and you can sell your epub through
Kobo and many other online book stores.
In other words, as this book will show you, there is no reason to pay a
vanity self-publishing company $3,000 or much more to produce and
distribute your book.
I
have sold 20,000+ books. So while I'm no E.L. James (author of
the originally self-published 50
Shades of Grey), I am a happy
and profitable
self-published
author. Perhaps
you can become
one too.
Paul offers
solid advice in a conversational style, on everything from
producing and pricing your book to tackling social networking. This is
the good stuff; the secrets most authors don't cover in ordinary "how
to" self-publishing books. If you want to self-publish but don't know
how to get started, Step one is to buy this book!

On the other hand, your
desire to self-publish may not be
all about book
sales. You may be looking to write a book to give to family and
friends. You may be looking to gain the credibility that publishing a
book gives a speaker or workshop leader. You may have other
reasons for publishing your book.
No matter your reason, this book will answer your
self-publishing questions, point you in the right direction
and
get you started. In short, as the
title says, this book will help you produce,
price
and promote
your self-published
book.
Paul
Lima has taken his tried-and-true experience and turned it into an
easy-to-follow guide to publishing your own book or e-book. You're one
read
away from everything you need to know to join the world of
self-publishing. – Leslie
Garrett,
award-winning journalist and author
If
you plan on jumping into the world of self-publishing, you
need Produce, Price, and Promote.... Whether you
want your book in print or in
digital format, this book has everything you need to know to get going.
