Six years ago, self-publishing was seen to be for authors ‘who couldn’t get a publisher’. Now, it’s not only a respected form of publishing, but it’s fast overtaking the traditional publishing role, with top names giving up lucrative publishing deals to go it alone with their latest books. Recently, Amazon announced that four in the top-ten bestselling eBooks were now self-published. However, self-publishing is fraught with costly mistakes that can bring down many a budding author.
Miles Allen, self-published author and owner of REDBAK Publishing, takes you through the do’s and don’ts of self-publishing and how to avoid the many pitfalls awaiting the unwary. This day school covers how to take your draft manuscript and turn it into a professional book to match any of the top publishers, then publish both on Amazon Kindle and paperback. The day also includes: what external help you should pay for and what to do yourself; how to process and format your book to a professional standard including a great cover design; how to get your books into bookshops.
Bring laptops or writing materials.
