The best thing about this book is that it isn’t filled with a lot of extraneous writing. (Don’t you just hate it when you have to read through many pages of worthless material to get to what you need?) The author carefully gathered together many sources from editors to self-publishing companies that will help from making your book the best that it can be, to finding the perfect publishing company. What more could you ask for?

If you were to type "how to self publish inexpensive books and ebooks" in the Google search bar, you would spend weeks or even months trying to figure out what option or publisher to settle for as a writer. I wish I had this book in 2014 when I was getting into self-publishing. The author does a great job of compressing information on publishing ebooks, from the publishers, their rates and the pros and cons of any option. I am still self-publishing and thanks to NetGalley for this has been such an insightful read.
PS: Did I mention that it's also short? Like he does not want to bog you down with unnecessary stuff?

“How to Self Publish Inexpensive Books and Ebooks” is a one-stop resource for getting your work out into the world. It offers concise step-by-step instructions on editing, layout, cover design, choices for printers and publishers, and marketing strategies and associated fees. Highly recommended!

Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine.

As the title suggests, William Allan offers a treasure chest of information to anyone who might be considering self-publishing a book. The narrative kicks off with an introduction of 12 viable reasons in support of self-publishing. All information is laid out in layman's terms. It was easy to follow. Many questions on where to begin and how to get started are answered in chronological order.

Helpful guidance is provided along the way to assist anyone considering publishing their first novel, be it a paperback or ebook. Many valuable resources had been compiled and were listed to include: market strategies, price schedules and contact information. Most importantly, the author helps remove the mystique about the world of publishing that's often intimidating to debut authors.

I would recommend this book to any aspiring writer who has given serious consideration to publishing their first piece of literature. It's a good place to start.

I offer my gratitude to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this digital edition in exchange for an unbiased review.

Snappy and short, clear and concise. A well researched guide to self publishing which, above all, is readable and presented in a straightforward manner. Certainly helps to give a good grounding to, what is, a potential minefield!

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book is brilliant. It's jam packed with so much useful information.
William Allen has covered every topic in great detail with explanations and reasons .
He has provided links , costs and every resource you could possibly need.
He has put together a complete unbias guide covering everything you could need to know about how to self publish.
A really great book.

Do not waist hours or even days of your precious time googling information on self-publishing. All you need is this novel. It cuts right to the chase and gives you all the information you need to be able to self-publish that book that has been sitting on your computer waiting...
As I am beginning my very own novel for the first time, this book will be incredibly helpful. I will be coming back to it many times to reference. Thank you for this amazing ARC NetGalley

This is not a big book, but it contains a HUGE amount of good information. Mr. Allan also has an evaluation of every aspect of publishing, so this is really helpful for new authors. Since most of the info is "perishable" with change of services etc I hope the author will revise the book every year or so.

This book is great!

Allan very concisely gives the low down on self publishing for the lowest prices you can find. I love how he literally takes out all the work on your part and lists your options and prices you will be looking at. Awesome source for any perspective writers!

There's a lot of good information about the self-publishing world. Alan provides the website for each publisher recommended as well as an overview of their services. He also indicates whether a publisher has a phone number authors can use to contact them or not. There are quite a number of names that a simple research for publishers may not have uncovered. It should be noted that while Alan makes mention of a number of publishers he did not personally test out all of them. Therefore an author who was planning to self-publish would still need to do their own research. A good way to do that would be to start with this book as a reference point.
Thanks to NetGalley who provided a free copy of this book for my honest review.

I loved this book. I found it very helpful full of useful information and answers to many questions about self publishing and considering working with Ebooks. If you are thinking about publishing your own book this is a helpful tool to help you decide what is best for you.

Sorry, this is the US version rather than the UK version, so I don't feel qualified to write a review.
