"Self-Printed", by Catherine Ryan Howard


Well, the full title is much more fun: "Self-Printed: The Sane Person's Guide to Self-Publishing: How to Use Digital Self-Publishing, Social Media and Common Sense to Start Earning A Living".

The impressive thing is that Catherine really takes you through a step by step process. She tells you how to set up your marketing, she tells you exactly how to set up a WordPress blog, and how to format your book for PoD and ebook files. She tells you how to make sure your book has a chance. She tells you where to invest money (editor, cover) and where not (vanity press). It's incredibly helpful, and if you think about getting your book out there on your own, that's probably a good blueprint to follow.

I'm still reading this book, and I'm already very, very impressed. I think this is the way I want to go with my Lar Elien series, as all major publishers in Germany rejected it while my agency was doing the shopping around for a publisher. So I'm scarfing up the knowledge there and getting all excited.

Here's the Amazon link to the book: Self-Printed

And here's the link to her blog: Catherine, Caffeinated
