🔒 Why I DIY'd My Book Design & My Low-Key Launch Plans
▸ Show notes from the creator
When I self-published my first book in 2018, I thought the process was quite simple. But this go-round I hit a few roadblocks… and there were months where I worried that this book might never hit your proverbial (or literal) shelves.
In this episode, I pick up where I left you back in March — having decided to self-publish my book and needing to finish the manuscript. Then I take you all the way through the design process and up to my current launch strategy.
Tune in to this free preview to learn:
Why I paid a book designer… then DIY’d it anyway
How I prevailed through IngramSpark’s Book Building software
Refusing to work with Amazon in the process
And how Lexi Merritt helped me figure out my launch strategy!
