Tips to self-publish your book

by Erica Surace

By self-publishing, it means to write and sell the book online, outside the traditional publishing industry. Self-publishing is different from the conventional publishing industry, in which publishing companies pay authors. They get a royalty of their book, and publishers work for the book's design and editing. Self-publishing is a different thing because the writer has to do for the book publishing and its distribution without hiring a traditional publisher in the market. Some of the essential steps through which you can publish your book are here:

  1. Write the book
  2. Edit the script
  3. Cover designing and internal format
  4. Self-publishing of an eBook
  5. Master the kindle store
  6. Market your book
