Product Description
The Self-Publishing Manual, more effectively and successfully than any other book, has turned writers with an idea into successful authors with books by providing solid, usable information in clear, concise, readable lanugage. This is not the stuff of theory, it is the product of hard-earned experience.

The bible on self-publishing. Highly recommended by virtually everyone in the industry -- even other authors of books on the subject (many of whom probably followed the advice in Poynter's previous 11 editions).

 MY FIRST SELF PUBLISHING BOOK

Seat Belt for Sef-Publishing ( iblack19 )
Step by step Dan Poynter takes you through writing and publishing your own book. He doesn't promise that it will be easy or that you will be successful, but he does explain the process.
The real work begins once your book is printed--you are on your own and he gives you an extensive rundown of the markets you can tap. For the novice author first you must make sure you have the best product that can be produced--a professional editor, which is one area he handles in marginal fashion though there is a list of editing services in the back. Make sure you obtain both a line editor and a content editor which are two difference birds. It is very difficult to spot the little mistakes because you read what should be there not what is actually on the page.
This is the grandfather of them all and an excellent survey of the field. All of the books attached to this review are self-published books, which have received strong reviews and sold well.

A great help
I read this book and immediately put many of the ideas to work. I am waiting for the results, but what it taught me is awesome. Every idea is doable and each comes with different options which let you choose which one is better suited to you. It has inspired me to not only to keep going with the internet promotion of my book but also to try new things. It is a great inspiration for those days when things don't go my way.

Absolutely Essential Resource!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Self-Publishing Manual. Dan Poynter's book is on the short list of desk books for anyone writing a book. Even if you are publishing with someone else this book still has great ideas and resources worth the time.
As a writer (unless you are super famous), you are the marketing director. No one will care about your baby like you do. The Self-Publishing Manual provides you with great marketing ideas to promote your book.
The book covers such topics as: Producing your own book, Announcing your book, What is your book worth?, Promoting your book, Who will buy your book?, Advertising your book and much more. This is an essential resource for anyone writing a book!

I should have read this first before publishing! ( kathie658 )
Fantastic information and I've learnt so much. Having already self-published I found there was much I had experienced and knew which confirmed I'd travelled the right path. But there was so much more that I didn't know and now I have a plan in place for my next book - which will happen!
