Morgan Mandel's Basic Guide To Self Publishing - Schedule

I published my own book and you can, too. The week of Monday, 8/24, through Sunday, 8/30, I’ll share a bare bones description of my experiences with self-publishing, touching on its good and not-so-good aspects. I could expand much more on the subject, but it would take up too much space. Someday, I might write a book about it. (G)

If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask; or, if you’ve already self-published, your comments and/or suggestions are welcome.

I’ll get right on with the first post after the schedule. I’ll keep them separate, in case anyone wants to print out the list.

  1. Monday - Why Self-Publish

  2. Tuesday - How to Get Started: Legalities, Technicalities, References

  3. Wednesday- Why Use An Editor

  4. Thursday - Choosing a Printing House & Getting Familiar With It

  5. Friday - Setting Up Cover Art & Logo

  6. Saturday - Promo

  7. Sunday - Downloading, Proof, Acceptance, Publication

  1. Hi Morgan!

    I'm a boorish oaf, so I'm going to ask the obvious question - is self-publishing financially viable?

  2. As far as profits,that remains to be seen, Anton!

    Killer Career's release date was August 15. It's too early to tell how many books I will sell.

    I do know the startup costs have gone down considerably and are not a major obstacle.
