Thinking About Publishing Your Own Book?
January 30th, 2008 at 8:46 am (The Biz)
You may be reading my site and thinking, “Hey, I’d sure like to be sleeping on boxes of my own self-published, unsold books!” You may even have already written said book. So, are you ready? I don’t know. Are you ready?
Remember, self-publishing isn’t just about writing a novel that you think is worth reading (even if no one else on the planet agrees). There is actually a great deal of behind-the-scenes work you must do prior to even thinking about sending your novel off to the printer to become a published book. And it’s not all creative. Some of it is actually focused on the business aspect of self-publishing.
This series will discuss the necessary steps to becoming your own publishing house, legally. Registering a business name, obtaining a tax ID number, etc.
It’s not fun, but somebody has to do it, and if you want to be your own boss, sadly, it’s probably going to be you.
