Don’t Make These 10 Self-Publishing Mistakes!

Serious question: Are you hip to The Emotion Thesaurus by Becca Puglisi and Angela Ackerman? If not, you should be—it’s long been the gold standard for helping readers write more realistic characters. I’ve recommended this resource to clients for years.

Given this, it’s no wonder that Becca and Angela run one of the top writer’s blogs around, Writers Helping Writers. This month, they were kind enough to host a two-part blog post of mine, “Don’t Make These 10 Self-Publishing Mistakes.” I was thrilled to offer this information with WHW’s audience of writers and hope to return to the blog soon!

If you’re looking for a refresher on the crucial steps to self-publish your book, part 1 (live now) touches on book production steps you can’t miss, and part 2 (scheduled for next year) looks at key distribution steps. Huge thanks to Becca, Angela, Mindy, and the whole WHW community for making this such a fantastic experience.

I packed a ton of information into these posts, so don’t miss it!

Spoonbridge Press Makes Self-Publishing Easy

Are you overwhelmed by all the steps you have to take to self-publish? Are you confused by all of your editing, book design, and distribution options? Do you wish self-publishing were easy?

I cofounded Spoonbridge Press in 2021 to help demystify the process and offer full publication management for independent authors. My small team and I offer a full suite of self-publishing services designed with authors in mind. That’s why our authors keep their own ISBNs, have full access to their publisher accounts, and receive 100% of their royalties—we don’t keep a dime.

Throughout the process, we guide independent authors toward the decisions that make the most sense for their unique author goals, all while keeping them in the driver’s seat. I believe this to be a unique approach to how a company can assist self-publishers and set them up for success.

To learn more about how Spoonbridge Press can help you reach your author goals, schedule a free author consultation with me. Looking forward to hearing about your project!
