You’ve written a book. You want to take charge and get it in front of your readers. This e-book will help you organize your self-publishing plan and help you get on your way to becoming a new author.

Not long ago, getting past the gatekeepers was the first obstacle for an aspiring book author. You’d need to devote weeks or months first drafting a novel proposal and sample chapters.

Then you’d have to approach several agents to see if they’d be interested in pitching your book to major publishers.

How times have changed… Today, most self-published writers fall into one of two categories: those who sell books on their website using an eCommerce tool and those who only sell on Amazon.

Amazon’s suite of offerings for independent authors allows writers to avoid traditional publishing houses. It enables you to build and sell digital books and print and sell paperbacks, add author profiles, and even market books.

Inside you’ll find five ways to start selling your novel on Amazon, all of which are free to set up.
