This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.


Self-publishing is well within the reach of many authors however, the learning curve can be frustratingly steep.

Author Rae A. Stonehouse, veteran of a dozen of his own self-help, personal/professional development books and others for his clients, shares sage advice from his self-publishing career and from the pros.

Book One Writing & Publishing as a Business in The Successful Self Publisher Series: How to Write, Publish and Market Your Book Yourself addresses writing books and self-publishing based on business best-practices.

There is nothing wrong with sending your manuscript to a traditional publishing company, but only self-publishing allows you to make all the choices – cover art, interior design, even story content – based on your vision, and your goals. Plus, you can have a finished copy in months, not years.

As an author with the desire of being paid for your hard work, you are in business. If you choose to self-publish, you are now in the publishing business as well.


Book One Writing & Publishing as a Business explores the following topics essential to creating your manuscript:

- Choosing your topic

- How to generate content ideas for your book

- Organizing your content so it makes sense

- Researching

- Creating your storyline

- Finding your writing voice

- Saving your work

- Preventing spelling & grammar mistakes

- Minding your tense

- Formatting your manuscript

- Adding illustrations or graphics

- Creating book titles that sell

- Proofreading

And much more...
