FOR AUTHORS
YOU DON’T NEED A PUBLISHING DEAL.
And You Don’t Need to Figure Out Everything Alone.
Writing the book is only the beginning. Then come the questions.
How do I turn this manuscript into an actual book?
Do I need an editor?
Where do I find an illustrator?
How should it be formatted?
Print-on-demand or offset printing?
How much should printing cost?
What do I charge?
How do I get it into readers’ hands?
And perhaps the biggest one:
How do I know I’m doing any of this right?
I’ve been through that process myself—more than once.
And I created two different ways to help other authors navigate it.
