I can't believe how much information is in this book! I was expecting a basic overview of how to stick a book up on Amazon and not much else, so I was shocked to see just how much of the process this book covers. It starts out with some basic terminology used in the book world and then builds on that by describing the physical anatomy of a book. Author Barb Drozdowich then continues on to describe how to actually write and prepare a professional manuscript before even starting to get into the pu

I like reading books by authors who share tips and tricks about how to improve in writing, publishing and marketing. This book was just that. It was full of information for any beginners..
Barb Drozdowich tells she she knows why things work in self-publishing and then shows her vast understanding of the process as she lays out the whole range of these things in simple demos. She actually calls it “author-directed publishing” and I find that more accurate and more encouraging. As a beginner, this is the book I’ve been waiting for! With her tech background and deep experience, Barb has given us a dense and complete manual we can really use if we are babes in the publishing and techn

As someone who reads about how the Indie Authors go about writing, publishing, launching, marketing and getting an income from their books, this was golden. This book was packed full of information that will be useful to me in the future.
I was expecting to find surface level information about self-publishing a book but I was pleasantly surprised when that was not the case. Not only it's useful, currently applicable and easy to read, but also fun.

It may seem an odd choice for me to have read, since I’ve published several books, but I found this comprehensive book full of useful information. It’s a step-by-step guide to the often-overwhelming process of self-publishing a book. Yes, I knew some of what was covered, but I gained significant new and valuable insights that will be of help to me as I prepare to publish my next book.
A book I’d recommend to anyone planning on self-publishing a book.
