What I’ve Learned as an Indie Writer
Being a writer is hard, and publishing your books is even harder. Publishing a book on a budget means you have to learn a lot of jobs because you can’t just hire people to do it for you. However, with a little know-how and dedication, it can be done. I will be sharing the things I learned the hard way since publishing my first book in 2009.

About Publishing
After writing a book the real work begins. Editing, typesetting, cover art, creating front matter pages & glossaries, buying ISBNs, copyrighting, packaging eBooks, and setting up distributors.
