With the rise of available options for indie authors, authors are more curious than ever about how to navigate so many options without being overwhelmed or disappointed (simply because they didn't know what questions to ask!).
In this episode of Write the Damn Book Already, we cover:
- the various indie publishing options, from self-publishing to hybrid publishing to working with a publishing service provider
- the temptation to work with publishing houses that make lofty promises regarding bestseller status and publicity assistance
- what questions to ask to ensure that your expectations are met should you decide to partner with an indie publishing company for assistance/expert guidance
- the importance of considering the long-term implications of partnering with any publishing house
- what questions authors should ask (and what red flags they should be looking for) when evaluating indie publishing options
