Book Publishing Basics: Copyright, ISBN, Printing
I want to send you a paperback copy of The Empowered Artist. Learn more at www.bob-baker.com/buzz/paperback-bundle/
As you know, this blog is all about helping you work toward making a living (and hopefully making a difference) with your own book. So I write a lot about promotion and sales and semi-advanced publishing topics.
But I realize a lot of folks who stumble upon this blog may be just starting on their publishing journey. If you’re one of them, I bet you could use some helpful resources on publishing basics.
Here are four web sites I recommend:
Registering a Copyright
Everything you need to know from the U.S. Copyright Office.
Applying for ISBNs
How to get your own set of International Standard Book Numbers.
Getting Your Book Printed
A nice primer from Dan Poynter.
Planning for Self-Publishing Success
A great overview of the do-it-yourself book publishing process.
Bonus suggestion:
Book Publishing Secrets to Success
A peek into my own path to full-time author status.
To your success!
