I liked that the entire book was not just full of tips, codes, or standard rules, and the author was flexible in recognizing that some of his audience could be non-writers.

I have always dreamed of writing my own book and this book was just so amazing how well it helped lay out what that would look like! I absolutely adored the way it was laid out and the information given.

This title is a great and informative resource for newcomer and established authors who want to give self-publishing a try.
It has answers for many of the questions that spring to mind when we talk about self-publishing including audio books, covers, audiences, etc.
The prose is clear and the advice is easy-to-follow - Roberts has included a few affiliation links. which is understandable.
This is a good resource; not hundred per cent and not very nuanced, but very handy and comprehensive.
Sabrina G, Reviewer
This is a wonderfully comprehensive book on the world of self publishing.
It has answers for everything you could possibly ask, along with things you wouldn’t have even thought of. It’s helpful to the point that I would call it indispensable. Especially if you’re only just starting out and unsure as to how to go about self publishing.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who is looking to self publish, whether you’re a first timer or a veteran.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own and I am posting them voluntarily.

Yes! Yes! Yes! This book is packed with so much useful material. This is the nitty-gritty of self-publishing. It is everything you wanted to know, and everything you didn't know you needed to know, about publishing books independently.
The presentation is clear and concise. And not only is the information in the book enlightening, it's also interesting. It held my attention throughout.
Once you get your novel written, before you take any steps towards self-publishing, read this book! It delivers exactly what it promises, and does it without excessive or convoluted rhetoric. This is a new favorite it my writing craft arsenal.
