When I first started thinking about self-publishing my books, I went to the internet blogs and researched other self-publishing guides, but not very many of them were helpful and certainly none of them had everything that I needed. The guides that I ran across also tended to be preachy and that really turned me off. I decided that once I had a very good understanding of how the self-publishing world operated then I'd write my own guide and make it more of a conversation than a lecture.
As you might infer from the title, this guide is based on my personal experiences and highlights the mistakes that I made along the way. It certainly wasn't a pretty trip, but in the end I know more than I should about how to troubleshoot and correct problems when it comes to self-publishing!
As both a novelist and a children's picture book author, I wanted this guide to cover both topics, so there's a chapter dedicated to the formatting of both novels and picture books. I hope that you enjoy my little guide and that it helps you in your self-publishing endeavors.
