Print on demand publishing tricks for new and established authors? Get Your Book Edited: Professional editing is a must. No book is perfect, but editorial assistance can help you get a lot closer. There are a lot of different kinds of edits, so be sure you know which you need before you hire an editor. Developmental editors check your book for flow and consistency. They suggest revisions when something about the language doesn’t seem right. Copyeditors correct spelling mistakes and adjust grammar. Editors are necessary in the self-publishing process.
Linked In: Develop a presence at the place for professionals to develop business contacts. Discuss topics with other authors and small publishers. Company Logo: Have a logo designed for your publishing company. Place it on every piece of correspondence, your web page and on social networking sites to spread the word. Create a Website: Obtain a domain name for your company, book title or your name. Have a website created that showcases information about your book, including excerpts, an image of your book cover and a way for book orders to be submitted back to you via the web. We recommend a company like American Author.com who can do the setup work for you.
Keep in touch with your fans. As bestselling writer Bella Andre told DBW (Digital Book World): When I released my first original self-published story (LOVE ME) in July 2010 I took a week and wrote a personal email to everyone who had ever written to me in the previous five years. Almost every one of them wrote back to say, “Wow, I can’t believe you still had my email!” LOVE ME was a sequel to a book that Pocket had put out in 2005 (TAKE ME). For five years readers sent me email asking for the sequel. It was a thrill to finally be able to give it to them.
