Welcome to the third and final post of our series, summarizing our Self-Publishing Checklists. This one will cover all the steps to submit your manuscript to your POD service, and get your book officially published! If you missed it, here's the first in our series, which covers all of your publishing prep work and here's the second, covering building your files and choosing your Print-on-Demand service. 

We’ve put together this guide to help authors through the process of self-publishing. Our goal is to give you a framework to hopefully make the task of publishing your book seem just a little less daunting. Remember that this isn’t meant to be the only way to get a book published, and won’t include all of the information you will need (that would be difficult to list in one place). However, where it’s lacking, we’ve included links to outside websites and blog posts that we’ve found helpful.

In the beginning, writing a book feels like the hard part. But once you have the book written, after years of rewriting and revising and editing, after you finally feel like you're ready to get it printed and to be done and for other people to finally read it, that's when the hard part really starts. 

It used to be that there was only one way to get your book published. You format your manuscript and print it out, then send it by snail mail to a dozen different publishers, crossing your fingers, and hoping that at least one of them likes it enough to accept.

But a lot has changed since then. For one, I don't think anyone uses snail mail anymore. But there are also many other ways to get your book printed and published. This blog is a quick summary of our knowledge and research on the subject of the types of publishing houses.

Bellow of the Beast is a children's book illustrated by Kristann Kammerman and written by Kristann and Megann Kammerman. It's about a young boy who journeys deep into a cave, where he meets a beast with a fierce hello. 

For our first ever blog post, we're going to do a little question and answer with the authors of the book, to learn a bit about their story, process, and future goals.
