Book Review: Self-Publishing Guides: Self-Publishing a Book by Hank Quense

Self-publishing has changed many things about the publishing industry. It's something I consider from time to time, but I find the whole thought of going it on my own intimidating. Then in walks, Self-Publishing Guides: Self-Publishing a Book. Now I have some idea how to move forward.

This helpful, non-nonsense guide to self-publishing comes from award-winning author Hank Quense. In addition to humorous fantasy and science-fiction, Quense often writes about self-publishing and book marketing. Self-Publishing a Book is one book in his four-book Self-Publishing Guides Series.

 Self-Publishing a Book brings you though the self-publishing process beginning to end, discussing numerous topics important to anyone considering self-publishing. Here are just some of the topics featured in this book:

• Copyrights and rights
• Types of publishers
• Revenue splits
• Editing
• Cover art
• Book packagers
• Pricing
• Formatting tips
• Launching your work
• Budgeting for your self-publishing project
• Marketing

Though some topics like marketing and project management have their own guides in the series, Self-Publishing a Book touches upon every aspect of the process so you have a compete overview of how to get from story idea to finished project and then how to draw attention to your newly released book. 

A valuable and cost-effective resource for writers, I highly recommend Self-Publishing a Book by Hank Quense if you want to know the ins and outs of self-publishing a book.
