21 1/2 Things to Know Before Self-publishing a Book: 2016
The book is my lecture presented to writers at Nassau Community College on Long Island.
For the last five years I have helped independent writers complete, format and publish their books on Amazon and other online sites. There are reoccurring issues with many of my writers who have labored to complete their first book. Because of their lack of experience in writing and publishing, they make rookie mistakes that require hours of editing and reformatting to correct, all which were avoidable if they had only known. This book, a synopsis of my all-day lecture on self-publishing, helps new writers avoid the many pitfalls they encounter.

Nothing I haven't read before.
This book is helpful, if you never picked up a book about self-publishing before. For me, I didn't learn anything more. I downloaded this during a free promotion and am glad I didn't pay for it.
The book goes all over the board, could be better if it focused on only one key to self-publishing. I believe the authors credentials so he could probably do better if he separated these 21 ideas into different books.
Also, other than the table of contents, which I personally never use, it was hard to tell where one chapter started and ended. Same as sub-chapters, it was a tad confusing.
I gave the book 3 stars because if someone, who's never published anything, picked this book up-they might find it useful. I didn't. I downloaded it because I was under the impression that it covered other issues.

Very helpful
A good book to have in your self-publishing tool kit. Clear and insightful list, from a beginning to end process.

Not a waste of time, but the author makes a lot of the same errors that he's trying to teach others not to make. Hmmm.
