Welcome to the
Super Simple Quick Start Guide to Self-Publishing. Whether novice or
experienced writer, I hope you find this book helpful as you embark on your
publishing journey. My goal is to provide you with an easy-to-follow guide
that will save you time and money through tips and tricks I’ve developed during
my writing career.
This guide is arranged
in the order in which I publish my own books. Each chapter will take you
one step, leap, or bound closer to successfully publishing your book.
Early chapters introduce concepts vital to getting your book published, and
give a simple tutorial on how to complete that step, saving you valuable
time. Pro tips and publishing life hacks will highlight ways to avoid
common pitfalls. Later chapters provide information on what to do after
your book launch, including how to make your book available in additional
languages and in the increasingly popular audiobook format. At the end of
this guide, you’ll also find a publishing checklist and a list of useful
resources.
I have successfully
published 15 fiction books, including the award-winning Spirit Guide young
adult series, the bestselling Hunters’ Guild urban fantasy series, and the
award-winning, bestselling Ivy Granger, Psychic Detective urban fantasy
series. In 2017, I will release my first works of nonfiction, the Super
Simple Quick Start Guide to Book Marketing and this Super Simple Quick Start
Guide to Self-Publishing. In addition to my 2017 nonfiction releases, I
will be publishing two more books in the Ivy Granger series and two books in
the much anticipated Whitechapel Paranormal Society Victorian Gothic horror
series.
In recent years, my
books have won numerous awards. I am a BTS Magazine Red Carpet Award
winner for Best Novel and Best Book Cover, SYAE finalist for Best Paranormal
Series, Best Novella, and Best Horror, winner of the PRG Reviewer's Choice
Award for Best Paranormal Fantasy Novel, Best Young Adult Paranormal Series,
Best Urban Fantasy Novel, and finalist for Best Young Adult Paranormal Novel
and Best Urban Fantasy Series.
My novels and novellas
have been translated into multiple languages, including German, Italian,
Spanish, and Dutch. I have also had the pleasure of working with world
famous voice artists in the production of over a half dozen audiobooks.
My books have flown to
the top of the Amazon bestsellers lists in numerous categories. I have
repeatedly hit the Amazon top 100, and have hit #1 in a variety of categories
such as the Mythology & Folktales > Fairy Tales category and the
Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Psychics category in Amazon stores
worldwide.
I am a guest at
conventions and book signings around the world. Recent conventions
include Dragon Con, Boskone, Imaginarium, Readercon, and World Fantasy. I
frequently speak on panels and teach workshops on a wide range of publishing,
writing craft, and literary topics. I have been a guest speaker alongside
such notable figures as Charles Stross, Catherynne M. Valente, Orson Scott
Card, Rachel Vincent, Paul Tremblay, Maria Snyder, Leanna Renee Hieber, David
Coe, Kit Reed, Peter V. Brett, Jacqueline Carey, and Max Gladstone.
It’s important to
remember that I did not start out as a publishing hero. I’ve made
mistakes, ones that you don’t have to make if you follow the steps in this
guide.
When I started
publishing my books in 2009, there were limited resources in libraries and
online. I was frustrated by conflicting information, outdated books and
websites, dead links leading to 404 errors, and false information posted by
people with no industry experience.
Today there are
hundreds of books, videos, and websites on how to publish and market your
book. This wealth of resources is great in theory, but it means that it
has become more difficult to find useful information than ever before.
With my years of publishing experience, I can shine a light on the most
important tasks, help you set clear goals, and provide tips to ensure you
achieve those goals.
The Super Simple Quick
Start Guide to Self-Publishing will give you the basic information needed to
independently publish your book, while providing terminology and resources that
will help if you wish to learn more advanced publishing skills.
Grab your cape.
It’s time to be a publishing hero!
