Fiction Author Guide: A Step-by-Step to Self-Publishing

By Heather Hildenbrand

You've finally made the decision to publish your book. But now what? The decision about how and where to send your story into the world isn't easy--mostly because it isn't simple. When you're first getting started, navigating the path to publishing can be overwhelming at best. (At worst, it can drive you to drink!)Many authors make mistakes simply because they JUST DON'T KNOW what to do. (I know because that was me once.) Sometimes, those mistakes are costly in terms of money wasted on the wrong cover or editor. More often, that money is lost in terms of sales when your book plummets and your reviews are awful (again, thanks to those cover/editor mistakes). Especially when it comes to self-publishing.But that doesn't have to be you.I've spent the last few years self-publishing bestselling fiction as a full-time author while coaching and teaching other authors to do the same. I've self-published more than thirty books and found a publisher for another four, and now, everything I've learned along the way is yours.What you'll learn from The Fiction Author Guide: A Step-By-Step to Self-Publishing. - Common myths about self-publishing BUSTED-Which publishing method is right for you: indie, self-published, or traditional-What to do next AFTER you've finished your rough draft- Clear information about the different types of editors- What types of editors and freelancers you'll need to hire and when- Get your book into the best possible shape for launch- What is a beta reader?- What is an ARC?- How to establish and define your author brand- How and where to hire a kick-ass cover artist (without spending everything) - Why you should choose print-on-demand- Formatting 101- How to use social media to build a readership and book launch buzz- How, where, and when to launch- How much it costs to self-publish - How and when you get paid when you self-publish- Advertising your book- Bookkeeping: how to be your own CEO- Goal-setting & schedule of a CEO- Publishing with ConfidenceAfter reading the Fiction Author Guide, you'll understand your options and the process of becoming a published author.
