You Can Self Publish for Free, But it Will Cost You
if you’re like most self-published authors you want to earn at least some money from your book. After all, you’ve put in a lot of work; it would be nice to at least be able to buy a sandwich. And if you want your book to be seen in this world by people other than you and the handful of folks who will love you no matter what you do, you want your work to represent you well. If this sounds like you, then you will have to spend some money.
Just Do Your Stuff
There’s nothing quite like taking something that exists only in your mind and turning it into something that you can hold in your hand. To pull something from your imagination to ground it in reality. And the lessons you learn getting from there to here are invaluable.
