Self-publishing isn’t vanity publishing. It has launched careers and profited authors. Especially if you’re starting out, self-publishing may be your best way to go. We’ll talk about everything you need to know about this path and how best to navigate it.
day 3: all about self-publishing
On this day, we’ll cover everything from agents to proposals. So you can make an informed, confident decision.
day 2: Decide your publishing path: all about traditional publishing.
If you want to write and sell those books, your people need to find you. We start with this first because this will be a lifelong journey of connecting with your right people. And, best part, it doesn’t have to be icky! It can actually be a service, and I’ll show you how.
DAY 1: GROW A PLATFORM
How do I reach people? Does self-publishing hurt my career? How do I find an agent? Answers to all that *and more.*
Traditional publishers like to see a proposal. Self-published books do best with a plan. Either way you go, you need to build a foundation for your book. Day 4 gives the ins and outs of a solid plan so you know you’re writing a good book.
DAY 4: Write a proposal or make a plan.
Now for the fun part! If you’re traditionally publishing, you’ll start hunting for an agent or publisher. If you’re self-publishing, you’ll get started on the manuscript. We detail a strategy for both paths.
DAY 5: Pitch the proposal or write a rough draft!
