very informative and packed full with tips and ideas on how to help self publishing get to a different level!
If you are self published, this is defiantly worth a read!
I like how this book is straight to the point - focused on the technical aspects of self-publishing. It's full of useful info and anything you'd expect from a handy guide. Definitely handy for those who want to go down the self publishing route while DIYing as much as they can.
The author does not deal with writing styles, not displaying your creative side as a writer, or anything like that, but explains in detail how to achieve all the steps to publish your book. She generously shares all her experience, as she has gone through this process several times and knows very concretely what is needed and how to do it.
It is a book that guides you step by step, very clearly and concisely, from configuring the template in Word, describes even how to go through the procedures for Copyright, ISBN and the barcodes; font licensing and the cover art, options for a professional editing, the different types of chapter headings, ebook and print book formating, also tips for self-publishing like audiobook and translations of your book, and how to handle taxes.
I think it's a very complete and super useful book when you are new to this business, to have a comprehensive and clear picture of the steps and requirements to realize publish a book on Amazon, Smashwords, etc. Advice on the procedures are focused on US residents, but does not elaborate on state regulations.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book
