Here's a straightforward overview of the self-publishing steps that will take you from manuscript to market, empowering you to become a published author on your own terms
THE SELF-PUBLISHING BLUEPRINT, 2FEET WAY
We have used this same method to publish books that are currently available on major book outlets.
Edit and Approve Your Manuscript: This step is crucial. Before moving forward, ensure your manuscript is polished and approved, either by you or a trusted editor.
Finalize the Manuscript: Make any final tweaks and confirm your manuscript is in its best form, ready for publication.
Purchase Your ISBN: Every published book needs a unique ISBN. Buying one yourself means you retain ownership of your book and its associated data.
Design Your Cover: Your cover is your book's first impression. Invest time or find a designer to create a cover that's visually appealing and reflective of your message.
Request an LCCN: Applying for a Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) is optional but beneficial, especially for authors wanting to distribute to libraries.
Submit for Copyright: Protect your work by submitting it for copyright registration. This adds a layer of legal protection to your book.
Open and Account on KDP/ Amazon: Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform is ideal for self-publishers. Set up your account to start selling on the largest e-book marketplace.
Format for Publishing: Proper formatting is essential for both print and digital versions. This ensures your book looks professional on any device or platform.
Upload and Publish: Once everything is in place, upload your files to KDP, set your pricing, and hit publish. Your book is now available to readers worldwide!
Our Blueprint uses KDP/AMAZON but you could use this same procedure with Barnes and Noble, Ingramsparks. However, you could also use "expanded distribution" on KDP/Amazon and it becomes available on all the major outlets.
