A boom in book self-publishing has increased work for editors and opened a host of opportunities for them to develop services, with their range of skills and technical abilities, that self-publishers will want to pay for. This guide offers an overview of self-publishing and also drills down into more technical details for those who want to be aware of the issues self-publishers will face on the road to producing a professional book.

This guide is for you if you want to develop your support of self-publishing authors, in fiction or non-fiction. There are many aspects of the process that, as a practising editor, you may never need, or want, to deal with, but knowing how they work will help you assess a client’s assumptions, answer their questions and be of service in guiding them towards a professional self-publication.
