An invaluable resource for authors braving the world of self-publishing.
Almost Done Writing is a supportive guide filled with information and practical tips. Better yet, it can be used as a workbook to nut out those problematic areas, like settling on a title or researching the right cover for your genre. Above all, it is surprisingly easy-to-read for a book packed with so much information.
Although the book focuses on non-fiction, there is plenty of content that will be useful to indie authors of all genres: how to research cover design and work out the dimensions of your own book’s spine, how to generate excitement (and support) around your launch events, and much more.

I’m a big fan of this guided workbook, it takes you step by step through the self-publishing process (many of which I never even thought about! Such as how to get a ISBN number 😄). The best bit is Andrea’s voice is encouraging along the way, and she gives tips from her experience, and sample templates for emails you will can send pre-launch to generate hype etc...

As an author about to launch my first novel, The Salt Man, I found Andrea Schmidt's book Almost Done Writing: Now What? was invaluable. The step-by-step instructions in the book helped me navigate the maze of tools and tactics needed for a successful book launch. Thank you Andrea!
