SO, YOU WANT TO PUBLISH YOUR BOOK?

LEARN THE 7-STEP PROCESS TO

PUBLISHING A PROFESSIONAL BOOK

This guide will walk you step-by-step through the self-publishing process and save you thousands of dollars over hiring a publisher (like me) to do it for you.

There's More To Publishing Than Publishing

You may have heard how easy it is to publish a book on Amazon®. It's true. It is easy. But the easy way doesn't always make it the right way.

Now, don't get me wrong. Amazon is not a bad way to publish your book. In fact, I will recommend that you use Amazon.

However, there is a bad way to use Amazon (and other publishing platforms), and I want to make sure you avoid doing that and making other rookie mistakes that may lead you to publishing a book that does not appropriately represent the message within the book.

In the DIY Guide to Publishing for the Author Entrepreneur, I guide you through a seven-step process to producing and publishing a professional-looking book that will help position you for profit.

The 7 Steps:

Step 1: Editing - The second most important part of your publishing process after writing a great manuscript.

Step 2: Registrations - The three registrations you need to complete.

Step 3: Advance Readers - Why you need them and how to find them.

Step 4: Price - There are a variety of factors to consider when pricing your book and none of them is how much you think your book is worth.

Step 5: Book Design - Internal and external design processes.

Step 6: Printing & Distribution - Choose a publishing platform and upload your files.

Step 7: Publish - The final steps before taking your book public.

In each step of the process, the step is explained: what the step is and why it's important.

I also provide you a list of questions to ask when you need to hire someone to do work for you, a worksheet that details the decisions you need to make, as well as the specific actions you need to take.

I've also included checklists and worksheets to document your research, decisions, and other outcomes all in one place to help keep your project organized.

At the end of the guide are some of my favorite publishing resources and a timeline you can use to help guide you through the publishing process.

This is all you need to self-publish your book!

BUT CAN YOU DO IT? SHOULD YOU DO IT?

To answer the first question... Yes, you can.

And with this guide, you can do it with excellence, ensuring that your book is eligible to be sold through retail book sellers.

Publishing a book is not difficult. It can be tedious but it's not hard to do; and with a comprehensive, step-by-step guide like this, it's even simpler to do.

To answer the second question... You can publish your book but should you?

Now, this is the $1,000,000 question.

Well, I recommend that you read through this guide before starting the process and then based on how you feel after reading it, decide whether you should self-publish.

If you are excited about the process and none of the steps intimidate you or make your eyes glaze over, you should consider publishing your book yourself.

However, if while reading, you are getting bored, recognize that you don't have the time to do this, or feel nervous about the process, you should strongly consider hiring someone to publish your book for you.

In either case, this will be a great resource for you.

Either you'll learn how to publish like the pros or you'll know what to look for when hiring a pro.

So What Are You Waiting For?

Meet the Author

Hi, there! I'm Dr. Cherita Weatherspoon, an international best selling author, publisher, speaker, operations strategist, and alignment coach.

I work with professional Black women to launch & grow their expert or service-based business as a coach, consultant, speaker, trainer, or author.

I have self-published my own books and helped others to publish their books, either as the publisher, an editor, or project consultant.

One of the things I love about my work is helping to position people to profit from their purpose.

And if you have a message burning inside you that you want to share with the world, this guide is going to help you do just that.

You may be wondering why I'm sharing such valuable information at such a low investment.

It's because I don't want the cost of hiring someone like me to keep you from getting your message into the world. It can be expensive to hire a publisher who actually knows what they are doing.

Also, once you have the book published, and are ready to learn how to monetize it, I want to be the first person you consider in helping you on that journey to turning your $20 book into a $250,000+ business.

Because it's about more than the book... you know that, right?

A book is great and can deliver some powerful information, but for real transformation to occur, most people need more. That's where I can help you.

Now, if after reading through the guide, you decide that you don't want to self-publish your book, schedule a call with me and we'll see if I can help you with that, too.
