{Q&A Session} Self-Publishing Your Books

February 19, 2014 By Heather Hart 4 Comments Click here for a FREE book marketing training

Self Publishing Q&A SessionWe asked our following what questions they had about writing, publishing and marketing their books, and we answered them in a live Q&A session. The majority of the questions focussed on self-publishing books, so that was our focus. We answered questions about ISBN’s, book distribution, choosing a title, formatting, and more.

Here’s what some of the live attendees had to say:

“Great info…great presentation.  Thanks.” ~ Yves

“It was very informative. Great Job!” ~ Susan
