Beyond the Basics of (Self) Publishing, Aspect 4: Process

This course is the fourth in a six-part series that takes you beyond the basics of (self) publishing to learn not only how to write a book, but how to publish a book so that you can ultimately achieve both literary and financial literary success. You can go through the aspects one by one in sequence, or pick the courses that best suit what you need to learn based on where you currently are on your literary and publishing journey. Adapted from the popular "Act Like an Author, Think Like a Business" conference and companion book, this course is one of six that helps you get started on the writing and publishing process, as well as finish.

The first step is always the biggest, which is writing the book. And then, of course, there is the professional editing of the book, followed by the design process of turning both the inside and outside of the book into the best-looking product you can. Once those are aligned, it's moving into the process of publication, which is where this course comes in.

After you complete this course, you'll then be ready to move through the remaining aspects. For now, though, it's time to indulge in the biggest bite of the elephant of publishing, which includes book metadata, ISBNs, barcodes, BISAC codes, copyright, etc. This course will help you understand every single step of the publishing process as well as provide you with the necessary links, websites, and resources.

Outside of the items listed above, this course will also cover the following:-Pre- and Post-Publication Book Reviews (how and where to get them. and what to do with them)-Book Pricing-Catalogue in Publication-Printing Options & Printers-Distribution, Wholesalers, Retailers, Libraries-and much, much more. We leave no page unturned when it comes to the book publishing process.
