Self-Publishing Consulting
There are many decisions to be made when self-publishing a book: paper stock, book size, color options—and these are just book specifications! You’ll also have to set up business accounts, obtain ISBNs, choose a distributor, and decide whether to go with print-on-demand (POD) or offset printing. To help you make these decisions, we offer consulting sessions to guide you along your self-publishing journey.
What is included in our self-publishing consulting package?
Our self-publishing package consists of three consulting sessions held with Kimberly of Jera Publishing that are designed to guide you through the self-publishing process. Buy all sessions together at a packaged price or, if you choose, select only the sessions you need.
Session 1: Your Self-Publishing Plan
- In our initial session, we’ll focus on developing a comprehensive self-publishing plan. We’ll discuss platforms like IngramSpark, Amazon KDP, and Draft2Digital. We will also go over key elements such as ISBNs, copyright registration, business setup, taxes, and Library of Congress Control Numbers. Following our session, I will send an email containing your personalized self-publishing plan and next steps.
Session 2: The Red Tape
- Our second session, conducted via Zoom, addresses administrative tasks. During the Zoom call, I’ll guide you through obtaining your ISBNs, registering your copyright, securing a Library of Congress Control Number, and setting up your accounts on IngramSpark, Amazon KDP, and Draft 2 Digital as needed.
Session 3: Submission and Wrap-Up
- During the final session, held via a Zoom call, we’ll delve into the book pricing and categories for your book. We will then go through the upload process on IngramSpark, Amazon KDP, and Draft 2 Digital to get your book’s title information and files submitted. Post-submission, we’ll discuss the next steps and address any lingering questions.
