When it comes to indie publishing, it used to be hard. But thanks to the digital publishing revolution, not only is it easy, but it’s easy on the wallet, provided you know what you’re doing.

Before charging headlong into self-publishing, you must first educate yourself about the digital bookscape. The indie publishing world is much larger than imagined, filled with a vast gridwork of bookstores, publishing services, distributors, aggregators, vanity presses, and countless specialists and experts who want your business.

Some are reputable, deliver exactly as promised, and bend over backwards to satisfy their customers. Others are scammers, shysters, and con artists, delivering less than promised and charging more than agreed.

This book will provide you with all the information needed to be an indie author without going into debt. Simple terms and easy-to-follow instructions will guide you from initial preparation to formatting and finally to publication.
