I just created a draft version of "Self-Publishing Guide: A practical guide for aspiring writers" and uploaded it in our club members site.
Publishing a book is a rigorous process and not one stage in the life-cycle should be taken for granted. Else, realizing a book project's full potential shall be jeopardized.
Here's the guide outline:
- Introduction
- Why publish?
- Publishing Process
- Development of manuscript
- Research
- To publish or not?
- Write the manuscript
- Edit the manuscript
- Prepare the book for printing
- Cover Design
- Layout
- Registration
- Permission
- Printing
- Sales and Marketing
- Retail and Distribution
- Promotion
- Conclusion
