    About this ebook

    Heather Seggel went from working the counter in bookstores to shelving at the public library and currently reviews books for a living. Those jobs, plus a stint self-publishing in the 'zine world, have uniquely equipped her to help self-published authors get more out of the experience.

    If 81 percent of Americans think they have a book in them as the New York Times reported, 99 percent of the ones being published independently fall short of expectations, in large part due to simple, fixable things. This book breaks down seven aspects of the self-publishing game and gets writers excited not just to write, but present their work more professionally.

    From copy edits to cover art, you'll create a vision for your book then bring it to life. This is a small investment that will set you apart from the herd.
