Self Publishing Books 101
Helping You Get Published And Noticed!
Author: Shelley Hitz
Self-published
ISBN #978-1-47510459-2
Shelly Hitz is a self-published
author, and founder of www.Self-Publishing-Coach.com.
She writes and teaches from her own personal experience. While one might say
that a small book like this (48 pages) is simply a come-on to go visit her
site, that is not a bad thing. This book is filled with usable information, and
Shelley’s site is filled with free resources to help individuals (1) get
published, and (2) get noticed! These resources take the form of book
templates, articles, a newsletter, tele-classes, special reports, e-books,
webinars, podcasts, videos and more.
Whether writing or
speaking, Shelley has a style that is clear, concise, and that one can easily
relate to. She writes and speaks with a purpose, from her own experience. She
doesn’t wander aimlessly around. How do I know this? Because I am self-published
also … I have taken the same journey that Shelley took into researching
self-publishing. In the end, we made the same choices: Create Space for POD
books, and Kindle for e-books.
In a few short pages,
Shelley cover a myriad of publication details: what self publishing is all
about, prospective costs (and the questions we need to ask ourselves), cover design,
software options, self-publishing companies and what they offer, Create Space
and what it offers, background on obtaining and ISBN # (and what an ISBN #
really is and does for a book), and obtaining a copyright (this is an option,
not a necessity).
The information is clear,
and offers the reader options. At the end of the book there is a listing of
other resources available through Shelley and her site. My advice – this book
is a great starter, then head on over to her site! There is no excuse for not
getting your material out there!
