Description
Welcome to my course on self-publishing. If you’ve taken my course on writing a short story, this acts like a continuation of that as we discuss self-publishing.
This course is designed to have three main objectives.
First: I will help you create a checklist on what needs to be done before the publishing stage, such as discussing the type of story you wish to write (if you haven’t already), editing, and even a quick discussion on blurb writing and purchasing an ISBN. This is done with one video per item on the list, for a total of thirteen items.
Second: Teach you how to upload your story to Amazon. This is fairly self-explanatory, but IÂ will run through each item just in case to help you avoid confusion and mistakes.
Third: Marketing. Marketing your book is arguably harder than writing the book, so IÂ will teach you how to make and run Amazon ads, how to create and build a social media presence, and how to attend book conventions.
At the end of the course, you will have the knowledge to create an e-book, write a blurb, get a cover, master keywords and categories, run ads, and understand how to market yourself.
