Publish Like a Pro: The Independent Author's Guide to Professional Publishing

For decades, professional publishers have followed standards and conventions most authors never see. Until now.

Independent authors have access to more publishing tools than ever before. But producing a book that can stand confidently beside traditionally published titles requires more than access—it requires knowing how publishing works.

Publish Like a Pro takes you behind the scenes of professional publishing, guiding you through editing, book design, ISBNs, metadata, printing, distribution, pricing, ebooks, production, and more.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to avoid costly mistakes, work effectively with publishing professionals, protect the value of your work, and make informed decisions at every stage.

Whether you’re publishing one book or building a catalog, this guide will teach you to think like a publisher.

You wrote the book. Now publish it like a pro.
