The knock at the door startled me and sent my heart leaping. Anticipation and dread all rolled into one. Phil and the girls gathered ’round, and I opened the box to take a look.
My very own book.
It is with great joy that Teri Lynne and I share this book with you. We started out with the small—an idea for a simple PDF that would make the e-book process a little easier for Design by Insight clients. It didn’t take us long to realize that we had a book in our heads and that it was about more than e-books. It was about the self-publishing journey as a whole.
Over phone, Skype, email and the occasional coffeeshop, Teri Lynne and I poured thoughts, insights, and research into making this book a valuable resource for the writer who wants to self publish. Questions our clients ask regularly became springboards for chapters and worksheets. And now our book is finished!
I know I have talked a lot about Self-Publish in the past few weeks. Instead of giving you the usual summary or one sentence, I’m going to share what LeAnn Rice had to say about the book:
“I got my hands on Self-Publish: Moving from Idea to Product this morning and couldn’t put it down. This book is a treasure! Self-Publish is a step-by-step guide covering everything from original concept to marketing your finished product. Erin and Teri Lynne guide you through crafting an effective title, design, laying out chapters, formatting, using social media to your advantage, creating an internet presence and how to make your product available for sale through various retail outlets. They have even included worksheets and resources to to help you through the process. If you are a writer or even thinking about writing a book, this is the only resource you will need. I’m using Self-Publish as my textbook on my next project!”
– LeAnn Rice
