Steps To Publish Traditionally
- Find a Literary Agent or Independent Publisher – Most traditional publishers prefer submissions that come directly through agents. Therefore, finding an experienced representative is an excellent first step.
- Submit Your Manuscript – Next, you can submit your completed manuscript for professional review. Ensure you polish your work thoroughly before sending it to any agencies.
- Sign a Publishing Contract – Consequently, if a company accepts your manuscript, the publisher will offer you a formal contract. This agreement clearly outlines your royalties and creative rights.
Modern Self-Publishing
Self-publishing allows you to independently produce and sell your book without relying on a traditional publisher. Additionally, when you work with an independent publishing company, you retain full creative and financial control over your project.
To begin, you should consider these top digital platforms:
- Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) – This service remains the most popular platform for eBooks. Furthermore, it easily handles your print-on-demand paperback distribution.
- IngramSpark – This platform offers much wider international print distribution. Therefore, you can reach global brick-and-mortar bookstores seamlessly.
- Draft2Digital – This tool distributes your eBooks directly to multiple global retailers. Consequently, it saves you from managing several accounts at once.
- Lulu – This option is ideal if you require custom formats. For example, you can easily create beautiful photo books or hardcovers.
- Smashwords – Finally, this platform focuses heavily on distributing digital eBooks. It quickly pushes your final work straight into major international markets.
