Whether you are starting a new press or you are an author thinking about self-publishing, you'll be confronted by a lot of questions. Publishing can seem overwhelming to those just beginning. Fortunately, there's help! The Self-Publisher's FAQ answers many questions ranging the entire experience of publishing. It covers:
● Starting a press: Should I incorporate? What should I name my company? How can I get funding?
● Understanding book industry practices: Why do I have to discount? What are returns? How do I handle P.O.s? Do I have to pay for shipping?
● Producing a book or ebook: Do I need an editor? Can I typeset the book myself? How do I get a cover designer? Do I need to print or go directly into ebooks?
● The requisite forms and website registrations: What is Books in Print? What is Metadata? What is the difference between copyright and copyright registration?
● Marketing (without which, your book won't sell!): How do I define my audience? What is a marketing plan? What is an author platform? Do I need a publicist?
● The Self-Publisher's FAQ Countdown: When am I supposed to buy an ISBN, write my marketing plan and send books out for review?
In clear, no-nonsense replies, you'll find the answer to these and many, many other questions!
