Co-written by me with Kevin McCann, "Get Started in Self-publishing" has been published by Hodder as part of their Teach Yourself series.

Here's the blurb:
"If you've been considering self-publishing, whether in print or in digital media, this book will be indispensable. It covers absolutely every aspect of self publishing, from the different options avaliable to the practicalities of ebook technology. It takes a creative look at the self-publishing process, encouraging you to think out of the box, as well as giving you inspiration and advice for the writing process. You will recieve practical advice on manuscript preparation, editing, cover design and other production issues, along with successful strategies for marketing, distributing and selling your book - and writing another. With 'Try it now' exercises, key facts and case studies, this book is all you need to realise your dream."
We've tried to make it very practical, about both the mechanics of self-publishing for print and ebook (including marketing etc) and about doing the actual writing. It's been a real pleasure to work on, and I'm particularly grateful for the contributions of self-published writers to the case studies chapter.
