    Roy's Self-Publishing Tips:


    Don't be afraid to outsource to make your book professional.

    • Pay a graphic designer to create a professional cover.
    • Pay a copywriter to write the blurb for the back cover.
    • Extra editor for the first 20 pages. You want to draw people into your world. 
    • If you want them to buy your second book, make sure the first one is great. 
    • Build an email list. This is the key to your marketing.
