Geek's Guide to Publishing a Book Part 11...
Finis
All good things must come to an end, and so to this missive on publishing a book.
Synopsis:
- Determine your audience.
- Determine a publishing model.
- Create a marketing plan.
- Write a darn fine manuscript.
- If you plan to traditionally publish then find an agent and or publisher.
- If you plan to vanity publish then research, research, research before signing anything (this also means you probably want to get a lawyer.)
- If plan to self-publish then create a business plan that outlines who does what. Once you have a business plan, then create a financial plan. Be realistic! It is a business and you can seriously lose your shirt!
- If you plan to use LuLu.com or blurb,com, then make sure that you have completely and thoroughly edited and corrected the manuscript. People really dislike typos and grammatical errors.
- Remember: you have a marketing plan, so follow it.
- There are no guarantees. The best you can do is maximize your chance of success, not guarantee it.
Good luck and I wish you the very best.
