Dear Lisa

Nice review. Ed’s other books are good (and you are a sound judge) so I am sure this book will be useful.

My wife loves Scrivener for work writing (e.g. research reports – gathering and organising information).

imho commercial publishers don’t proofread or copy-edit as well as they used to – but they do provide editors of sorts. Writing under your own steam it will be important to find a good editor (objective and firm but still friendly).

I’m “working” on a book now, and the question as to which way to go has been on my mind. Your post helps. Thank you for writing it.

Coming to you via the Grace and Truth linkup.

Thanks so much for reviewing and suggesting this resource, Lisa. I appreciate it. I’m in the revision process of a book I’m writing with a plan to self-publish and launch. I went back and forth for about 6 week between writing a proposal for an agent and/or publisher and just working on a self published book. But I opted to self-publish. I look forward to checking this out.

Have always been thinking about it but not sure yet what to write about. LOL
Thanks for these tips. Will surely be going back to read this again when I’ve decided.

I actually have harbored a secret desire to write a book, and have read different opinions on self-publishing, so this is timely for me – especially at 99 cents! 🙂

Hi Lisa, your book reviews are always so informative. This one is ideally timed for me, as I’m in the process of writing my fourth self-published book and still working on the other book I hope to publish traditionally. I bought the 99 cent Kindle version you suggested–thank you so very much for sharing it!

Looks like a really good book.

The hard thing about SP-ing is that the books often look ‘homemade’; the fonts and spacing and margins are just a bit off, and that always reminds me that I’m reading something that might not have gone through as rigorous a development process as a TradPub product.

Great advice on book publishing Lisa. I’ve always had a desire to write although I believe the years of writing my dissertation drained me! I loved the research and lit reviews (I love to research and I love to read). Your book review has shed some light on the subject. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to reading the book for more advice!

Nothing but time and hard work standing in my way! Well, that pretty much sums it up right there! Thanks for suggesting this book. I’m on a path to self-publish soon and am so excited!! And terrified! LOL Blessings!
