Self publishing is a big decision. Before jumping in, you need to research your options and pick a self publisher that meshes with your needs and goals. Here are three things you should look for when choosing a self-publishing company.
Design Options
Review the company’s interior and cover options. Most companies have standards for each genre. These standards are typically based on what is most viable in the marketplace.
Internal Processes
Each company has a process for handling the publication process, and requesting exceptions to this process can result in extra fees.
Prices and Options
Each company offers a variety of services during production and marketing. Find out what each company offers and the prices.
I’d love to know, what factors helped you choose a self-publishing company?
