Thinking About Indie Publishing? 5 Questions You Need to Answer First
Indie publishing offers authors more options than ever. But with those options come a lot of decisions: How do you know if indie publishing is right for your book? What does it take to produce a professional-quality book? Where should you publish, how will readers find you, and what do you need to know about the business side?
In Thinking About Indie Publishing? 5 Questions You Need to Answer First, bestselling author, award-winning editor, and indie publisher Janyre Tromp breaks the process into five key questions every writer should consider before taking the plunge. You’ll get a practical, big-picture look at the indie publishing process, learn where to focus your time and money (and where not to), and leave with a roadmap and resources to help you take your next steps with confidence.
