A Book Self-Publishing Timeline
This summer, I self-published my first book, Agile Discovery & Delivery: A Survival Guide for New Software Engineers & Tech Entrepreneurs. After several people asked me about the self-publishing process, I decided to write a self-publishing series. This is the final article in that series. Here, I discuss my self-publishing timeline, then (with the benefit of hindsight) what I would have done differently and how that would have changed my self-publishing path.
Previously in the series, we covered:
- Drafting & editing your self-published book
- Creating a beautiful cover for your book
- Acquiring images & permissions for the book
- Building your manuscript
- Deciding where to self-publish your book
- Formatting your eBook on Amazon’s KDP
- Formatting your paperback & hardcover versions on Amazon’s KDP
- Uploading & publishing on Amazon’s KDP
- How to promote your self-published book
