You can do it all yourself - editing, encoding, cover, promotion - or you can hand some or all of those over to an expert (and pay them). When I did mine, I enjoyed the challenge of doing it all myself, but that can be time-consuming. And I'm still useless at the promotion side...Simon Kewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537163555998763769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-77807081368358810062013-02-28T08:17:24.443-05:002013-02-28T08:17:24.443-05:00Jillian - thank you so much!

And that's a clever blog post title you have up there, by the way :-). Best of luck with this exciting project, and I'm sure you'll have lots of blog readers willing to vote on possible cover designs, let you know their favorite stories of yours, help promote the book when it comes out, etc... I definitely will be, anyway!Jillian Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421351338544997541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-68234040267632926432013-02-27T17:52:27.580-05:002013-02-27T17:52:27.580-05:00Alex - thanks!Alex - thanks!Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-39265488020460546862013-02-27T16:58:42.350-05:002013-02-27T16:58:42.350-05:00Wow, I can point you at many who've done it - ...Wow, I can point you at many who've done it - Cherie Reich, M.

It's the perfect description for what I'm doing in 2013 too. Not that that's what I had intended. I, too, intend to put out my novel by the end of the year.<br /><br />Have you been to the IndieReCon (indierecon.org) site? It's chock full of info that you might find useful. <br /><br />Best of luck to you!M.J. Fifieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15626475963328519693noreply@blogger.com
