West Nyack Presentation

I will be holding a free seminar at the West Nyack Library on Wednesday, October 10th, 2018 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.  If you are interested in self publishing, you don’t want to miss this. You can visit their website at https://westnyacklibrary.org/ to register for the event and get directions.

In this class, I will be addressing the best ways to self publish a book. The method you use to go about self-publishing is different for everybody. It depends on several factors:

  • Who your target audience is.
  • What type of book you are publishing.
  • What type of software you own.
  • How comfortable are you with using computer software.
  • What your budget is.
  • How much time you have to invest.
  • How much work you want to do yourself.

I will be elaborating on my favorite method which is using an online print-on-demand source and doing all the work yourself, completing your book and listing it on Amazon at no cost. When producing a book yourself, there are some key things you will need to know about:

  • Which print-on-demand companies to use for different types of books. ie hard-cover, pocket novel, etc.
  • The different ways to obtain an ISBN and why some are better than others.
  • How copyright works.
  • How to promote yourself.
  • How to write a book proposal.
  • What software to use to write your book.
  • How to setup word properly.
