After years (and years) of writing, I'm finally getting serious about self-publishing and I'm curious how others have approached it. If you have self-published and would be willing to share:
1. Did you set up a business? (Why or why not and how has that worked out?)
2. Do you use ISBNs? (Why or why not and how has that worked out?)
3. Do you format your own books, do your own covers, etc?
4. What is your process for editing (developmental, line editing, proofreading) and beta readers? Do you do it yourself, hire someone, use a blend?
5. What has been the most helpful advice and resources for you?
I've found a lot of good nuggets in my research, but most of it is get-rich nonsense and the good stuff is often incomplete - I'm curious to hear more about people's complete journey. What have you learned? What would you do differently?
Appreciate any input - thanks!
