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. we wish you luck on your publishing journey!At this point you should have all of your prep work done. You know where you want to publish (whether you want to focus on Amazon, IngramSpark, or both). You have your ISBN, LCCN, and manuscripts created. Now you just need to publish! For the purposes of this guide, we're going to assume that you are publishing with both Amazon and IngramSpark. If you are only doing one or the other, feel free to skip to that section. 1. uploading to amazon |
