Self-Publishing 101--Informative and Concise,
By Yvonne "Keep it Simple" (ARIZONA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Self-publishing 101 (Reference Series) (Paperback)
This is my kind of book. It's concise, yet packed with valuable information and practical, contemporary samples. Okay, so there are bigger books with even more valuable details--after all, self-publishing requires lots of decisions and many steps for a "newbie." I read some of the big books first, and I'm glad I did; but this one pulled everything together for me and suddenly it didn't seem so overwhelming. I found it to be particularly valuable in the marketing stage.
