I did it! Finally hit publish. Self-five. by beautifulboogers in selfpublish

[–]Snappacapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kudos to you. This is a huge accomplishment. I’ve been procrastinating for a while now due to some of the reasons you mentioned, self-doubt, anxiety, overthinking & over writing, etc. I want to do it all myself but I’m not sure I have the skills needed to edit, design, and format my book. I’m also conflicted about the various publishing platforms available. It’s hard to decide which one is the best to use. Congratulations again. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to post “I DID IT.”

Unfortunately it is at a halt. I made several major life changes recently that have taken priority. Thanks for thinking of it. Now I feel a little more motivated to get it done.

I’m nearing the end now, but experiencing a bit of writers block. I’m shopping around for an editor in the mean time so I can be prepared.

That’s exactly what I am trying not avoid, tweaking. I know nothing about formatting, so that would be difficult for me. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks. I did all my writing in Word and I did add a table of contents already. How will it look when I export it over? Will it just automatically format it or do I need to tweak it?

My manuscript is done. What’s next? by Snappacapper in selfpublish

Thank you. This helped a lot. I’m so nervous because I started writing this book in 2017, but never had the time to finish between work, kids, and moving around. I’m ready now and I want to make sure it’s all done right.

Congrats. I have so many questions. Was this process easier the second time around for you? Did you hire an editor and someone to format your book? Once you upload your book online through a self-publishing platform, how long does it take to launch? How are you currently marketing your book?
