“I once made a promise to myself: if I ever sell more than a million dollars’ worth of my own self-published books, I’ll write a small book about how I did it. This is that book.” –Joseph Jenkins
With no formal education in writing or publishing, and while working a full-time job running a construction business, Joseph Jenkins managed to sell more than 3 million dollars’ worth of books he authored and self-published. Over the years he reflected on what people should know if they’re thinking about self-publishing. Now, 25 years later, he’s boiled his advice down to his Top Ten Tips. Jenkins sprinkles personal anecdotes throughout the book to help illustrate some of his experiences and recommendations. He says he learned the hard way and made all the mistakes you can make self-publishing. This book may help the reader leapfrog those potential pitfalls.
The book touches upon money, costs, editing, promotion, software, public speaking, copyrights, eBooks, print books, book specifications, paper, fonts, ISBNs, LCCNs, public domain, royalties, incomes, radio, TV, websites, book signings, rights agreements, fair use, libel, consulting, and a whole lot of other things. This is not an encyclopedia. It's a quick read packed with information that is sure to inspire budding self-publishers!
