Publish from a position of power

Lots of authors have made the decision to self-publish, not from stress, but from a position of power. Even if you want to eventually get a deal from a publishing house, you'll know what your business is worth and you'll become a more confident negotiator.

For example, romance author Bella Andre made a hybrid deal with Harlequin to publish her books in print while she kept the ebook rights. This was groundbreaking and caused the whole industry to re-think their publishing strategies. (Thank you, Bella!)

These days, many authors choose to self-publish. It's no wonder! When you maintain control, you make all the decisions. Your book will never be backlisted unless you decide to backlist it. You can change the cover. You can change the title. You can change how it’s distributed. You can change the metadata. You can experiment with marketing strategies. You can bundle it with your other books or with books by other authors. It’s all up to you.

If you’ve never run your own business, this may seem intimidating. But you don't need to worry about tackling this all at once. Take it a step at a time as you finish your manuscript and learn about the rest of the publishing process. You’ll be glad you did it right. My aim is to help you make money from your writing and to minimize the dead-ends, U-turns, and do-overs.

"Carla's program covers it all. Her knowledge of this business is extensive and is well communicated through this program.

If you're serious about creating an author business then this course is a must.

She's broken this course down into bite-size, manageable pieces that even the busiest person can find the time to work through and never lose focus. Her friendly nature and responsiveness to questions is a bonus you'll not find everywhere. She truly cares about our success."

—A.M. Bochnak, author, Fortitude Rising

 

As an independent author and publisher you wear many hats, including that of a small-business owner. This role can be rewarding because you have so much more control than if you sell your books to a publishing company. You don't have to do it alone. Join us!

ABOUT THE COURSE

Creating a business plan, researching the marketplace, and getting your business in order—taxes, legal matters, and copyright—will help you create a viable business from the start.

You'll learn how to create a basic business plan, compare your goals with market research that proves you have a good shot at meeting those goals, outline a sales strategy, and make sure your book shows up in the all the right book systems so that bookstores, libraries, and customers, can find it.

Get into the independent publishing mindset. Start out right or start over and become a professional not an amateur. So many authors make money from their writing and publishing. Why not you?
