Notes from this episode:
Self publishing has different definitions; some confuse it with vanity publishing. Vanity publishing involves paying a smaller publishing company to publish your book.True self publishing involves acting as the project manager and hiring people for various publishing tasks.
There are different facets of self-publishing, from traditional publishing to vanity publishing and independent publishing. Outlined are the options for print books, discussed distribution channels, and provided practical recommendations for companies to work with, such as Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and IngramSpark.
Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
KDP, associated with Amazon, offers a platform for publishing e-books and even provides an expanded distribution option for print books. KDP also offers expanded distribution to get your print book into places like Barnes and Noble. It allows authors to publish and distribute their books in both digital and print formats.

One key advantage of IngramSpark lies in its expansive distribution network, facilitating the global availability of books through various channels, including online retailers, bookstores, and libraries. The platform employs a print-on-demand model, eliminating the need for authors to invest in large print runs and ensuring books are consistently available without excess inventory costs.
