Rather than finding a publishing company, more and more authors prefer to self-publish their books. Self-publishing is the simplest way to publish a book independently.
Here’s how you can self-publish your book:
1. Write
Start writing your first draft. Writing a book requires effort, time, and willingness to learn. Learn from your favorite writers, prioritize your writing and be patient with yourself.
2. Edit
Self-edit as much as you can. Before you hand your work to a professional editor, make sure you have done your editing share to save on costs. Let a professional editor help you ensure that your work is edited, polished, proofread.
3. Design
Work on creating a beautiful book cover design. A book cover is a great way to attract readers. Interior design such as formatting, font style, and font size is also important.
4. Publish
Publish your book either as an e-book or POD (Print on Demand). Doing so is cost-effective, and you will not end up with copies you couldn’t sell.
5. Market
Market your book effectively by promoting your title through online advertising, mailing lists, and price promotion.
