Hi I'm Jodi from WritersLife.org and

today we'll be talking about myself

publishing is easier than you've heard

here's the most surprising thing about

self-publishing it's really really easy

I say surprising because I feel like we

as writers shouldn't realize this

considering how many people have

embraced self-publishing and have a lot

of success doing it but there's

something about the publication process

that seems so daunting so many things to

think about so hard to get the word out

at the end of the day self-publishing

just isn't that hard there are really

only six things to worry about writing

the dang thing this is by far the

hardest part when you start writing you

think it's going to be easy but you soon

realize that it doesn't read like a book

there are ton of holes and it kind of

sucks you extensively rewrite everything

and add a lot of new material you think

it was going to take a month

but writing your book actually took a

year look getting it edited this is

where things start to get easier there

are so many incredible freelance editors

out there after all for copy editing and

final polished you turn to a friend

maybe someone who agreed to a barter

edit since you've edited some of their

work in the past and now you're

extremely happy with how everything

turned out number three cover design you

find an amazing and influential graphic

designer who may be slightly better

known among other things or perhaps

you're on a budget and look to a friend

or maybe a startup company number for

interior design you think about trying

to learn how to design the interior but

this is a corner you decide to cut you

reach out to a few interior designers

for quotes and end up going with an

incredibly fast and professional

designer and the end result looks

terrific piece of cake getting

everything uploaded you distribute

directly via Kindle BNN Kobo and use the

e distributor Smashwords for everything

else when the print cover is ready you

distribute with creative space easy easy

easy

and number 6 promotions

you plug your book to the blogger's and

are fortunate to get some really nice

blurbs and you begin experimenting with

some social media ads this is a bit of a

simplification obviously and if you have

any questions about the specifics of

self-publishing check out Susan K Quinn

the creative path and David Goggin there

are many merits to traditional

publication but if you're holding back

from self-publishing because it seems

daunting don't sweat it

it's really not that hard

self-publishing veterans how did you
