At the beginning of this month, I launched How To Pub Yourself with an author friend of mine. Our goal was to make an email tutorial series that would take a beginning author with no idea how to self-publish to an end product of publishing on Amazon, in just 1 month, a half hour a day. It's definitely geared towards writers who have never done this before, so some of the intro material might be too beginner for some people here.
If you want to see the first few days of tutorial, you can start here: http://howtopubyourself.com/how-to-self-publish-your-book-day-1-welcome/
We also have a community over at www.PubYourself.com (I know some of you have already joined) to support people through the publishing process. Eventually we'll be branching out to do publishing for people who really 100% don't want to self-pub, but for now we're focusing on tutorials.
I'm curious to know for those who are just starting or who remember their first time starting: what was holding you back from self-pubbing? What seemed the most scary at first?
And would you ever work with a full-service digital publisher who would handle everything but the writing and split royalties 50/50? If not, is it because you know how to outsource the other stuff yourself, or...?
Thanks to everyone who's sharing so much valuable information in this forum! I hope that my stuff can help someone who's unsure about taking the leap!
