I Wrote the DAMN BOOK...Now What?

By Sara Ryan

YOU WROTE THE DAMN BOOK.
NOW LET'S GET IT PUBLISHED.
You survived the writing, the editing, the proofreading, and the formatting. Your book is finished, your files are ready, and now you're staring at a publishing dashboard thinking:
What the hell am I supposed to click?
I've been there.
I learned self-publishing the hard way-through mistakes, do-overs, unnecessary expenses, confusing instructions, and a few things I really wish someone had warned me about before I clicked the button.
So I wrote the guide I wish I'd had.
I Wrote the Damn Book... Now What? walks new self-published authors through publishing with Books.by, IngramSpark, and Amazon KDP in plain English and on a realistic budget.
Inside you'll find step-by-step instructions, illustrations, screenshots, checklists, budget tips, warnings, and plenty of "don't do what I did" advice to help you get your finished book out of your computer and into readers' hands.
Use one platform. Use two. Use all three. I'll show you the options, explain what I've learned, and help you avoid some of the mistakes I made along the way.
No publishing degree required.
I made the mistakes. You get the checklist.
Seems fair.
