The truth is you don’t have to work with a third party publisher, to publish your book. Not only will you have to pay them for the production, editing and design of your book, you will lose control in other ways … including the sales of your book on the back end. But what do you do if you still don’t know how to format a book yourself and paying a graphic designer $50 doesn’t cut it for quality in the marketplace? In this episode, Angelina Carleton speaks with Michele DeFilippo, founder of 1106 Design, about her 50 years of experience starting at Crown Publishing in Manhattan, New York (USA). Michele offers tips such as how by simply opening two accounts online, you can ‘print on demand’ as well as have global distribution at your fingertips. While she teaches you that an editor is essential, as even the Pope and Steven King have editors, there is also a need for your memoir to comfort as well as inspire readers as a starting point. If you aren’t sure about typesetting, as in your internal page design and how to format your book, or how to calculate future royalties, this podcast conversation will be a great introduction to publish like the pros! A PDF of her 88-page guide, Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing, can be downloaded for free at http://1106design.com. - Self-publishing means the AUTHOR is the publisher, but you'd never know that from browsing the internet. Most authors believe a publisher is necessary, that they must sign away their rights, creative control, and revenues to offer their books to the public. This is not the case! 1106 Design's mission is to help authors publish books without sharing a penny of their net revenue* from sales with a publisher. We provide self-publishing peace with quality services, reliable publishing advice, and the convenience of project management at every stage. - At Legacy Planning©, we work with accomplished entrepreneurs, wealth creators, and family stewards who are ready to turn their success into lasting significance.
