Book Printing   |   eBooks   |   Editing   |   Book Design   |   Sell Your Book   |   Pricing Good morning, Last week I ordered a new electronic gadget for my home. Upon its arrival yesterday, I tore open the box and did something almost unheard of: I read the instruction manual from cover to cover. (Ah, so THAT’S how you turn it on! Got it!) I’ve always been a “manual, schmanual” kind of guy up to now. I’d rather learn on the go than invest the time to understand how things ticked. But it seems in today’s slowed-down world, we all have some extra time on our hands. The 45 minutes I spent understanding my gizmo before turning it on is going to pay off, I’m sure. I’d advocate for this same kind of approach as you think about publishing your book. Sure, you can go ahead and wing it—a lot of new authors try this approach. But with rare exceptions, they make a lot of rookie mistakes that waste both time and money. The smart author will put in some time and effort to better understand the self-publishing process. Don’t worry; it’s not Advanced Physics kind of learning. Just being acquainted with the process and basic requirements will go a long way toward a successful publish. I’d recommend you start your self-publishing education with our guide, How To Prepare Graphics Files For Book Printing. This free download answers dozens of questions and addresses issues that might pop up in your own publishing process. We also have ready-to-publish book templates so you can format your book and speed the printing process.
