Have you finished writing your book and now find yourself wondering what comes next?

Writing a book is a huge accomplishment. Publishing it can feel just as overwhelming. From editing and formatting to ISBNs, distribution, and choosing between self-publishing and traditional publishing, there are many decisions to make before your book reaches readers.

In How to Publish a Book: A Guide to Self-Publishing for First-Time Writers, Lauren Bingham walks aspiring authors through the publishing process step by step, helping you turn your finished manuscript into a professional, published book.

In this audiobook, you'll learn how to:

• prepare your manuscript for publication

• understand the differences between self-publishing and traditional publishing

• navigate ISBNs, BISAC categories, and publishing platforms

• choose the tools and resources you'll need to publish successfully

• avoid common mistakes first-time authors make during the publishing process

Publishing doesn't have to be confusing or intimidating. You don't need a literary agent or a traditional publishing contract to share your work with readers. With the right knowledge and preparation, you can publish your book with confidence.

This audiobook is designed for writers who have finished, or are close to finishing, their manuscript. If you're still writing your first book, start with How to Write a Book: A Book for Anyone Who Has Never Written a Book (But Wants To), then return to this audiobook when you're ready to publish.
