Aprašymas

Anyone can self-publish a book. But publishing well-creating a book that sells and turning writing into a sustainable career? That takes strategy, persistence, and a deep understanding of the hard truths about the publishing world. In Tough Love for Indie Authors, publishing expert Keri-Rae Barnum and literary agent Amy Collins reveal what it really takes to succeed in self-publishing. Whether you're dreaming of bestseller status, aiming for a full-time author career, or trying to figure out why your book isn't selling, this book delivers the insights you need. Packed with hard-earned wisdom, smart strategies, and a healthy dose of humor, this no-nonsense guide will help you navigate the indie publishing landscape like a pro—without falling for shortcuts or empty promises. Inside, you’ll discover: what separates successful indie authors from those who struggle; how to publish like a pro, from writing and editing to cover design and distribution; the real keys to book marketing beyond wishful thinking and spammy social media posts; why treating your writing like a business is non-negotiable for real, lasting success; how self-publishing can open doors to traditional publishing, agents, and foreign rights deals; and the biggest mistakes indie authors make—and how to avoid them. This isn’t another "feel-good" book with vague advice. It’s a tough-love roadmap to building a sustainable author career through smart, strategic action. So if you’re ready to ditch the “overnight bestseller” myth, embrace the work ahead, and truly win at self-publishing, start with Tough Love for Indie Authors. Sibylline Press is proud to announce its new imprint, Sibyl Writing Craft, dedicated to providing definitive titles on writing craft and the book business for writers.
