• Ebook - To Self Publish or Not to Self Publish

Congrats!

You should now have a clear idea of the differences between self publishing, traditional publishing and hybrid publishing. It's time to decide: Which is right for you? 

If you're having trouble deciding, here are some things you can do to help.

Tips to Help Decide 

• Look back at the checklist questions you answered “yes” to and spend a few days meditating on them with the new information you’ve learned about the three publishing options.
• Journal or free write about your “why”.
• Discuss it with your family and friends who know you well.
• Imagine yourself in the future, an already published author. Which path do you see? Does one stand out more than the others? Is there one that you know you wouldn’t feel good about? 
• Look up other books in your genre on Amazon and check the copyright page to see who published it. If it’s a name other than the author (which would denote self published), Google it to see if it’s an actual publishing house or an imprint (made up publishing name).

Did you decide to traditionally publish? If so, request a refund for this course and get started on your book proposal! Maybe we'll see you in our next course for book marketing.  

Still want to self publish? Excellent! We'll see you in the next module, where we'll be discussing the various formats you might want to consider offering your readers.
