Step 0 Fund the Book
Step 1 Write The Book
Step 2 Make Book
- Type Setting (We will have a whole episode on this coming up soon)
- Book Cover (We will have a whole episode on book covers coming up soon)
- Back Cover Copy (We will have a whole episode on this coming up soon)
- eBook Formatting (We will have a whole episode on this coming up soon)
Step 3 Print The Book
- How Book Printing Works
- Printing
- Distribution
- Fulfilment
- Offset or Print On Demand
- Offset much cheaper, but … higher risk. Garage full of novels?
- Use the offset money to make the audiobook. Episode 95 and 96
- Thomas’ Recommendation: CreateSpace
Step 4 Market The Book
Hey guys, love the episode. If you’ve got an episode coming up on typesetting. . . I really hope you talk about Vellum. It’s basically magic. They’re doing paperback AND e-book typesetting at the same time, now. You can literally typeset your book in fifteen minutes. And it looks really good. Anyways, I’m excited for an episode on copyrighting, because Jim, you rock at copyrighting.
