Rory Marsden is the self-published author of six books \u2013 the first in his series of historical fantasies, Tales of Castle Rory<\/em><\/a>. We caught up with him to ask how he got started with self-publishing, and what he\u2019s learned about the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jericho Writers: Hi Rory, thanks so much for taking part in this Q&A with us! We know lots of people in our community are intrigued by the idea of self-publishing \u2013 but many don\u2019t feel confident about trying it. How did you get started?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory Marsden: I learnt what to do by taking the amazing Simply Self-Publish<\/a> course.<\/strong> My tutor was Debbie Young, and the course was invaluable \u2013 and not only because of the information it provided and the feedback I received on my assignments. Just as important were Debbie\u2019s gentle encouragement, and her willingness to answer all questions. It was Debbie and her course that gave me the confidence to tackle the whole business, after which I found it isn\u2019t as hard as you think. The course got me started, and now I\u2019m on my own unique journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: We know lots of people worry that self-publishing means doing absolutely everything yourself. Was that the case for you?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: No! First, my books have all been professionally proofread, and they all have professional cover designs. These are important investments; expensive but worth it. For Books one and two, I also paid for professionally formatted interiors, but after that I bought Vellum, a brilliant piece of software, and I\u2019ve formatted all the other books myself. I feel very confident with this now \u2013 but of course, it might not be for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This logic applied to the whole process of self-publishing: at all stages you can choose how much to do yourself and how much to farm out to professionals. The more you do yourself, the less you have to pay, and you really do learn as you go along. If you\u2019re nervous, you can pay other people, and you\u2019ll still retain all your rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: Are there any things you\u2019d never consider doing yourself?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: For me, it\u2019s cover design. A DIY approach for this is a false economy and will come back to bite you. Amateur covers are too obviously just that, though of course if you have graphic design experience you might get away with it! Professional editing or proof-reading is equally essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: So – once you had your book ready, what was your next step?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: I opted to publish through KDP Select, meaning the ebook couldn\u2019t be sold anywhere but on Amazon. However, the paperback can be sold anywhere at all, so I used Draft2Digital, an aggregator that handles making your paperback available from different online retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being in KDP Select means your books are available to anyone who has signed up for Kindle Unlimited. They can \u201cborrow\u201d your book and read it on their device, and you get royalties for every page they read. I\u2019ve found this works well for my books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get a KDP account set up way in advance of publishing, and then it will be there, ready for you, when you\u2019re poised to publish. I\u2019d advise doing this as soon as you\u2019ve made the decision to self-publish \u2013 it\u2019s one less thing to think about further down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: What can you tell us about the nitty-gritty of self-publishing \u2013 the finer details you\u2019ve had to get to grips with?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: I\u2019ve learned an awful lot about how Amazon works! The platform needs to know what it\u2019s selling and who\u2019s likely to buy it. It asks you to select the categories your book fits into, and the keywords customers might put into a search tool when they are looking for books to read. You need to choose these with care, and there\u2019s a limit to how many you can put in. There\u2019s a short cut to researching dozens of similar books, though, and that\u2019s to buy an app called Publisher Rocket. You have to pay for it, so more money going out before anything comes in, but it really does solve the Category and Keyword issue very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: You seem to have picked up a lot of knowledge since starting your self-publishing journey. Have some lessons been harder to learn than others?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: Yes! Getting your book up online and available to purchase is only the start, as I have discovered. You see, nobody knows about your book. So, nobody buys it! Amazon gives you thirty days to do something about this. In those thirty days, the Amazon algorithms are working in your favour, pushing your book at anyone who might (in the algorithms\u2019 opinion) be interested. The algorithms work from the categories you\u2019ve selected, and this is why it\u2019s so important to get them right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After thirty days, if your book isn\u2019t selling, Amazon doesn\u2019t care anymore, and the book is no longer pushed. It\u2019s still available, just not very visible. That\u2019s what happened to me. I had to look into marketing, something I\u2019d never done before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: What happened next?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: I was told, by various experts, that most self-published authors are not interested in marketing. They shy away from it, wanting to spend their time writing their books instead. However, self-publishing means understanding that your book is a product<\/em>. It needs to be marketed efficiently and effectively. You, the author, need to be marketed too. You need a brand, an identity people can connect with, and a story that will resonate. Not the story in your shiny new novel, but the story of you<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I needed help with this and paid for time with a marketing advisor \u2013 but if you\u2019ve worked in this sort of field before, you can probably save a lot of money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: In your view, what are the main advantages of self-publishing?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: As an independent author, you retain all rights and all control over your manuscript and everything that happens to it. Traditional publishers often offer contracts in which you relinquish rights such as translation into other languages, new editions, new formats, which books might come next in a series, cover design and much else. With self-publishing\/independent publishing, it\u2019s all in your control. So, you do all the hard work \u2013 but you also get to say what happens, and your royalties per book sale are much greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JW: What do you think is the most important self-publishing advice you could share with our community?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: Probably that the publishing part of self-publishing \u2013 uploading your files to Amazon, for example \u2013 is the easy bit! Everything that comes with it is fun, but you need to enjoy the challenges of marketing, branding, selling and so on. I made some bad decisions early on. For example, before I hired my marketing advisor, I spent money on Amazon ads without knowing what I was doing. Most of my other decisions were good ones, thankfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to invest in self-publishing \u2013 and that\u2019s how to think about it. I considered joining the Simply Self-Publish course the first step on that road, and I\u2019m really glad I took it. I wish anyone else thinking of taking the plunge the very best of luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
