Curious about self-publishing? Considered trying it, but found the whole process complicated and more than a little intimidating? Ditto, which is why we sought out expert advice from Miral Sattar, founder and CEO of self-publishing go-to sites Bibliocrunch and LearnSelfPublishingFast.com.
Miral chats with us about why now is the perfect time to try self-publishing, who makes a good candidate to be a successful self-publisher, and what the keys are to selling a self-published book.
Hint: marketing, marketing, marketing. That’s the name of the game for every author, self-published and traditionally published, but since self-pubbed authors are completely responsible for getting their books into the hands of readers, it’s no exaggeration to say they have to become marketing experts, and we could all learn a lesson or 20 from them.
Miral also touches on the nuts and bolts of self-pubbing – the cost, the best outlets for releasing your book, how to get started on the self-publishing journey – and talks about hybrid authors, writers who self publish and traditionally publish their work.
