Praise for the previous edition:

"I have read many books about self-publishing and have to say how impressed I am with the incredible detail and research that went into putting this book together. Demers goes through virtually everything an author who wants to understand this world would need to know in order to make informed decisions. This tops my recommended list for anybody considering learning more about self-publishing in either print or ebook or both.”
Mark Lefebvre, Director, Self-Publishing and Author Relations, Kobo Writing Life

“The Global Indie Author includes vital information for those who are not US citizens but who want to sell in the US (and other) markets. Americans will also find it helpful. I also found the writing, particularly that in the introduction, engaging. I am already recommending this to my clients.”
Audrey Owen, Writer'sHelper.com

"This book is well-written, well-organized, and very thorough. Demers’ writing background shows, and it is clear that she talks from first-hand experience. I consulted the book countless times during my own process to publish and it saved me a lot of aggravation and frustration.”
