Carla King's excellent guide is a must-read for anyone thinking about publishing their own work. I beg you to read her this book before you even write your first word and you'll have a better understanding of how to bring a book to fruition and then to be successful in the marketplace. She's a great friend to the indie community and provides this valuable resource as a gift of love.

This is without a doubt my desert-island-self-publishing-manual. The only thing I had to go by in the beginning was whether a source felt like it was trying to upsell services or sincerely sharing their passion for knowledge with the desire to educate and enrich. I felt the latter in this guide. And the topper is that she keeps readers updated through her reader's list and her Author Friendly podcast. You can really tell a lot about the integrity of a person if you listen to their podcast. She interviews all the big names in self-publishing and it's informative and thrilling.

Carla's guidance is worth its weight in gold. She cares about self-publishers, gets into the details that save you time and money, and has the track record to back up what she's saying. I highly recommend all her books and courses.
