Your manuscript is complete. Now what?

Self-publishing is well within the reach of many authors however, the learning curve can be frustratingly steep.

Author Rae A. Stonehouse, veteran of a dozen of his own self-help, personal/professional development books and others for his clients, shares sage advice from his self-publishing career and from the pros.

There is nothing wrong with sending your manuscript to a traditional publishing company, but only self-publishing allows you to make all the choices – cover art, interior design, even story content – based on your vision, and your goals. Plus, you can have a finished copy in months, not years.

- Self-Publishing vs Traditional Publishing

- Proofreading

- Editing Your Manuscript

And much more…
