My Experience Publishing a Book
Many people think about writing a book, but life gets in the way at times. When you take that first step and consistently take a minute or two per day to write one extra sentence, you’ll be one sentence closer to completing that book. Once you finally complete your book that took months or years to write, you must decide if you'd like to go with a publisher or self-publish. I self-published two out of my three books. So, what would I do differently next time? Self-Publish all of my books! Why? I found a really good editing company that did an excellent job editing my books, so much so that I had them edit my other book, not self-published. And boy, did they make a lot of changes AFTER my publishing company had edited the same manuscript.
Now that the book has been edited and all corrections have been made, it’s time to publish. If you are going through a publishing company and you’re not very picky about your book cover, they’ll handle all of this. I was very particular. If you’re like me and want the best, if going with, for example, Amazon, decide if you’ll do Hardcopy and/or eBook. Either pay a company a huge sum of money to work on your book covers (separate ones for eBook versus Hardcopy needed) or if you have, for example, Adobe app, do it yourself. If you’re lucky, you might know someone that can help you for free or for a small fee. I knew someone, and that was very helpful. Are you interested in hiring my “someone” to assist with your book covers? Click on “Contact,” fill out and submit your information requesting this service so you can be contacted with a price quote.
Request one or two copies of your book, read it, and make any final corrections, then publish! Congratulations!
