DO NOT Self-Publish Without Doing THIS
I wrote about this particular issue a few years back. But since I just saw an example of this thirty minutes ago, I felt compelled to reiterate it in this post. Besides, a reminder never hurts.
As an author, you must be aware and concerned about what products you put out, because they represent you and your talent.
Therefore, it is ESSENTIAL that an author obtains professional services in publishing her book(s).
Unless you are a professional editor, formatter, and book designer, you will need these services.
Even if you are quite adept at grammar and spelling and syntax. Hire a professional editor.
The same goes for formatting your books and for a book cover.
You want your work to be the BEST it can be. POLISHED, BEAUTIFUL, EYE-CATCHING, READABLE.
It is important for you as an author to do this, because all of these creative efforts are a reflection of who you are and what talent you hold.
In closing, please DO NOT publish you book BEFORE acquiring professionals.
It doesn’t help those who do put in all that effort for superbly finished products. With so many books out there and so many self-published books, let’s make all authors look good by putting out the best product possible for our readers.
