An article in The Bookseller recently argued that we\u2019re now in a \u201cgolden age\u201d of self-publishing \u2013 and if you\u2019re currently debating the best way to get your novel into readers\u2019 hands, taking the \u2018DIY\u2019 approach has almost certainly crossed your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-publishing is rewarding in a wide variety of ways if you can do it successfully \u2013 not least because you\u2019re likely to make much<\/em> more money per book sale than if you published traditionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that self-publishing no longer places you and your work beyond the purview of traditional houses. Far from it. Many successful self-publishers are now taking a \u2018hybrid\u2019 approach to putting their work out there \u2013 in some cases selling audio or foreign rights to their books while retaining self-pub rights elsewhere. There\u2019s also what The Bookseller<\/a> describes as \u2018a pipeline\u2019 developing, with self-pubbed authors using their previous success as incredible leverage when negotiating trad deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With self-publishing in the spotlight, and as we approach the deadline for applications to our Simply Self-Publishing<\/a> course, we asked tutor and indie publishing expert Debbie Young to answer some of the burning questions you might have about how it really<\/em> works\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jericho Writers: One fear we know people have \u2013 despite the changing landscape \u2013 is that self-publishing is for authors who simply aren\u2019t good enough to get traditional deals. What do you say to that?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debbie Young: Self-publishing is not<\/em> the home of second-rate writers! There are a lot of authors now self-publishing by choice, for the autonomy, for the control, and because they don’t want to compromise their vision to fit whatever narrow mould traditional publishers are pursuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: What about the idea that self-publishing a novel is essentially a vanity project?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DY: Forget the word vanity \u2013 when you self-publish seriously, you are not pursuing a vanity project. This isn\u2019t just about printing a book or getting an ebook up onto Amazon so you can say it exists. You are \u2013 or should be \u2013 publishing a high-quality book because it will appeal to a real market. Your intention should be to reach that market and achieve sales. Basically, if you\u2019re doing it just to see your name \u2018in print\u2019, you\u2019re doing it wrong \u2013 and you\u2019re almost certainly not making the most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: It sounds as though your best chance of success as a self-publisher is to be quite businesslike \u2013 to see it as something entrepreneurial.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DY: Exactly. But that doesn\u2019t mean you have to do absolutely everything yourself. You\u2019re not going to have to learn to design covers, format ebooks or print books, or edit or proofread. Instead, self-publishing means taking the same responsibility as a publisher would in a commercial firm \u2013 and assembling a team of experts to get your book off the blocks. They can provide any special skills that you don\u2019t have, under your management and direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: One thing we know people worry about is approaching the ebook market \u2013 especially if they are not Kindle or ebook readers themselves. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DY: This comes back to being businesslike. Sell ebooks, even if you don\u2019t read them yourself! Self-pubbed authors typically make around 95% of their money from ebooks, so it\u2019s not a market you can afford to ignore. This is a good example of how a course like Simply Self-Publish can make all the difference to people embarking on this journey: it\u2019s going to expose your blind spots, help you avoid mistakes and arm you with the knowledge you need to move forward successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: And what about Kindle Unlimited? People are confused by that, too \u2013 particularly how (and even if!) authors get paid when their books are included.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DY: You do get paid as a self-published author when your books are in Kindle Unlimited, or KU. You must agree to exclusivity with Amazon, but you\u2019ll earn \u2018page reads\u2019 income for every page of your prose that\u2019s consumed by a KU reader. KU is a really important platform to understand properly as a self-publisher, so we cover it in some detail on the Simply Self-Publish<\/a> course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: And how does print-on-demand (POD) work? This is another key question we know would-be self-publishers are keen to have answered\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DY: It\u2019s a good, and important, question! POD is the lowest-cost method for printing books, and POD printing though a service like Kindle Direct Publishing or IngramSpark allows just-in-time ordering. This means there\u2019s no upfront cost and no need to hold hundreds of copies of your book in your spare room or a pricey warehouse. Thanks to POD, you can now publish a book with a print-run as low as one<\/em>. Again, we go into detail about POD on the Simply Self-Publish<\/a> course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: This final question is probably the biggest one: how do you know if self-publishing is right for you?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DY: I think it\u2019s about being honest with yourself, in terms of your goals and ambitions, the level of control you want to have over your own work, and how much you\u2019re prepared to put into the process. I\u2019d never tell anyone self-publishing is easy, but for many authors it is now their preferred option. And to some degree, it\u2019s about what you\u2019re writing, too: self-publishing works especially well for writers of genre fiction, for books that form part of a series, and so on \u2013 but less well for children\u2019s and academic books, which are still mostly consumed in print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: Do you have any final advice?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DY: Learn as much as you can before getting started. Think about doing a course like Simply Self-Publish<\/a> and consider it an upfront investment in the business of becoming an author. Through Simply Self-Publish, my students create actionable strategies and marketing plans for their books \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what you need to organise upfront, before you even consider putting your book up for sale. Approach it in the right way, and self-publishing can be the starting point for a super fulfilling writing career. I wish you all the best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
