This booklet is a response to questions I've heard asked about so called "self-publishing" by people who have never done it but are interested ... some of them are even professional writers who have worked through brick and mortar publishers. This booklet is based on the author's personal experiences, using an on-line publisher and from a background in the technical side of publishing: page-layout software and graphics programs. This booklet also focuses on the new author, or one unfamiliar with publishing terminology and processes. It also revolves around the concept that your book will not be selling large copy counts, so the limited run digital methods will be how your book gets produced, both in paperback and e-books.
