SUMMARY OF MODULE 3: PREPARING FOR PUBLICATION

Your Magic Book!In Module 1, you really got down to writing your book. In Module 2, we started developing your online promotional platform. Now, in Module 3, we are finally ready to turn your precious manuscript into a professionally presented self-published book, so you can be truly proud of your finished product.

The aim of this module is to give you the tools you need to prepare your final manuscript for publication. We’ll talk about how and why you need to create a publication timeline, how to find and work with a copy editor and proofreader, and how to get endorsements and feedback on your book. We’ll discuss what goes into the layout of a book, how to choose a publishing option and publisher, how to understand royalties, payments and Amazon rankings, and how to assemble an online media kit.

NOTE: You should take Module 3 when you are close to completing your final draft, even if it isn’t edited yet, and have already established a good online presence as discussed in Module 2. If you have not yet built your online platform, I highly recommend you take Module 2 either before or during Module 3, as you will need those elements in place while you are preparing your book for publication.

Who is it for?Anyone who has completed their final draft (unedited ok), and has established their online presence, and is ready to move towards preparing their manuscript for self-publication.
NoteIf you are getting ready to publish and have not yet built your online platform, I highly recommend you take Module 2 before this module, as you will need those elements in place first.
