Self-Publishing: The Total Beginner's Guide

Self-Publishing: The Total Beginner's Guide aims to provide would-be writers with all of the tools necessary to publish their own work. It looks at: the motivation for writing: the writing process itself and the writer's needs; the editing and proofreading process; typesetting; self-publishing administration; book covers; paperbacks, hardbacks and ebooks; marketing; dealing with booksellers and wholesalers; organising book launches and author events; and what writers should do next.

The book is primarily intended to be distributed as an ebook, and it is anticipated that new editions will appear in response to readers' requests for assistance in areas not fully covered here. Above all, though, it will be cheap. Every reader should get something from reading it.
