The Fine Print

from Bean Caught Reading

In Episode 3 of Bean Caught Reading, an original podcast from Toil and Trouble Media, self-professed biblio-groupies Mistie Glendenning and Jennifer Beck spill the coffee on the dirty truth of self-publishing. From pay-to-play promises and predatory services to hidden costs, questionable shortcuts, and the very real work behind hitting “publish,” we dig into what aspiring authors should know before putting their book—and their money—on the line. Grab your favorite coffee. Publishing your own book may be easy. Doing it well is another story.
