Knowing These 9 Secrets Will Make Your Self-Published Book Look Amazing

First of all, the stigma is that self-published books are garbage books. I was once ridiculed on a phone call by a traditionally published author for giving bad writers hope. Self-publishing your book can save you a ton of money if you know what you’re doing. You must realize up front though, that you won’t have the support of a publisher, unless you publish through a self-publishing company.
