Reviews
“A great guide to everything an author needs to know about publishing. He offers down-to-earth information about the pros and cons of each option. He covers all the things an author needs to know when they’re just starting out: writing, editing, design, formatting, metadata, distribution, marketing, and everything in between. He makes it approachable and clear, without sugarcoating the investment in time and money required to successfully publish your book. I recommend this book to any aspiring author who wants to know what they’re getting themselves into and how to make it a rewarding experience.”
