Help: I Want To Self-publish My Book. How Do I Go About It? by Maximus85(m): 9:02am On Jun 14, 2016
Goodday.

I'm Jimmy. I'm a researcher and lover of peace. I've been researching and writing a book with a friend for the past 3 years. And we have a big dream about this marriage and relationship building, fixing and maintainance book. We have a mental picture of how it will come out but we don't really know the steps.

One thing is, we don't want to approach any publisher.

That is why i'm here on the literature section of nairaland for your assistance.

Thanks.

You want us to link you to a good publisher? More ink to your pen.





Please don't mention FTC, it's not a big deal.

So funny to wake up to see such an important post with hilarious comments. NL is a real online comic centre.

OP
having gotten the book proof read, you need to get the ISBN number from the National Library. Previously it was N5k but don't know how much damage change had done to that cost.

With this number you can proceed to printing and finishing. Hoping you know what that means.

There are a thousand ways to publish your books online; Amazon, okadabooks etc.
I publish mine on Globlaruns.com and sell whatever i want to sell over there.
My point is that you chose where you want your book to be but trust me, the more places you publish, the more exposure you get.
You can get a blog and publish there too because you may write another and another someday.
If you need help publishing in Okadabooks and Global Runs, i can help you...and hey, don't worry about funds, its free.
And remember you don't have to worry me too much because I will do the cover and the conversion when I have time which can be between 1 week and 1 month.
