Description

You finished your manuscript. Now what?

From Manuscript to Award-Winning Book: A First-Time Author’s Roadmap to Self-Publishing is a practical, beginner-friendly guide for aspiring authors ready to turn a completed manuscript into a published book.

After navigating the self-publishing process for her first book, Charlietta D. Owens transformed an idea on her computer into an award-winning book that went on to reach readers, educators, professionals, and college classrooms. Along the way, she learned the publishing process firsthand—from ISBNs, copyright, and book formatting to Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, audiobook production, distribution, and marketing.

In this straightforward roadmap, Owens shares the steps she took, the lessons she learned, and the publishing “gems” she wishes she had known when she started.

Inside, readers will learn how to:

Prepare a manuscript for publication
Understand ISBNs, copyright, and Library of Congress registration
Navigate Amazon KDP and IngramSpark
Prepare print and eBook editions
Explore audiobook publishing through ACX
Understand proofs, distribution, and book pricing
Begin marketing a book after publication
Follow a clear 10-step self-publishing roadmap

Written especially for first-time authors, this book takes the overwhelm out of self-publishing by showing you what comes next—one step at a time.

You wrote the manuscript. Now it’s time to publish the book.
