Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every writer begins their writing journey with the question, where do I start? Writing the book is half the battle, the other half is the publishing process. When I published my first book (KaleStone), I knew nothing about publishing and paid Amazon $3,000 to handle publishing for me. Now I have published several books (The Backup Superhero, The Original Superheroes, and Anywhere Else) for free, received several publishing contracts, and continue to grow my audience across several mediums. Starting Your Publishing Journey: A Beginners Guide covers everything I wish I would have known before I published my first book (and spent $3000 on it). A New Era for Writers! We are now in an era where writers have numerous options to publish their work. This brings many questions and unknowns to the publishing process. Do I go with traditional publishing or the self-publishing route? How do I get a publisher to publish my book? How do I make a cover? How do I find an agent? How do I market my book? How do I find new readers? Where do I self-publish my book? How do I get on Amazon or in book stores? How do I publish my book myself for free? Many writers don't know what an author's platform is or the importance of building their brand as an author. This is the very first and most important step in the publishing process. Starting Your Publishing Journey: A Beginner's Guide helps you build your author platform to publish your book while pulling in new readers and growing your author brand.
