SELF-PUBLISHING IS DETAILED & TIME CONSUMING;
This is a combination that adds up to a lot of work. When you choose self-publishing, you must have a do-it-yourself mentality, and a willingness to take on all the tasks that a publisher would normally do for you; as they say, books don't sell themselves. Whether your books are on-line, in brick-and-mortar stores or made for e-readers, someone has to spend the time helping readers find your book. That takes a promotion plan and someone to carry it out. Below are some of the tasks you must do if you decide to self-publish. The list is actually longer if you get into the real nuts and bolts of the process. This is where Freebird Publishers comes into play.

-
Who will buy my book? Make a list!
