Publishing a printed book is more intricate than creating a PDF eBook, due to the tangible nature of the product. Here is a streamlined guide to the print-on-demand publishing process:
1. Finish Your Manuscript
2. Develop a Cover Concept (including a trial run)
3. Format Your Manuscript for Printing (to produce the "galley")
4. Complete and Proof Your Cover Artwork
5. Combine Your Galley and Artwork
6. Create Marketing Materials (press releases, etc.)
7. Publish!
8. Receive Hard Copies and Send Out Review Copies
9. Distribute Press Releases and Schedule Advertising and Interviews
10. Continue Marketing to Sustain Book Visibility
11. Track Sales and Order More Copies for Publicity
Consider printing this list as a project roadmap. If there are additional steps specific to your situation, feel free to adjust accordingly. Having a checklist simplifies what can be a complex process.
Notice that marketing is listed after publication. It's crucial to have a finished book in hand before engaging in promotional activities. In the past, I've received international press interest shortly after sending press materials but had no hard copies available, missing the opportunity.
Traditional publishers usually promote a book three months before its release, allowing time for reviews and media scheduling. However, independent publishing requires caution. Unexpected delays, personal issues, or artwork challenges can occur, so avoid making promises you can't guarantee.
This might seem daunting, but if you're a self-starter, you're likely less troubled by the risks. Independent print publishing demands more preparation than digital formats but is highly rewarding when you present your book to others.
With proper formatting, your book can rival those from mainstream publishers. You can secure an ISBN, create a professional cover, and develop a striking interior without breaking the bank. All it takes is determination, the right information, creativity, attention to detail, and perseverance.
By planning carefully and maintaining a keen eye for detail, you can transform digital content into printed books without losing your sanity in the process.
