399 Valuable Self-Publishing Tips for a Penny Apiece $3.99 This is an experiment in providing a lot of information simply, quickly and inexpensively. It’s also a sampler which I hope will convince people to buy my other books. I’ve been writing professionally for over 40 years. In 2008, I decided to form my own publishing company and planned to publish one book. This is the fourteenth or fifteenth book that I published in just over two years, and more are on the way. It will share what I learned, and my enthusiasm. This book should be useful to writers who form their own publishing companies, and writers who use self-publishing companies, and even writers who have contracts with traditional publishing companies. NOTE: There are more than 399 tips here, plus valuable information that’s not in tip form, so each tip cost you less than a penny! I had to choose a title before I finished writing and 399 seemed to be a good number. If you like this book, please consider my other books.
