Book publishing advice and recommendations
I used to build and manage my website with Wordpress, but it can be tricky to use with app conflicts and other technical issues. Shopify is super easy to use, is built for e-commerce and allows me to sell books across the world! Get a free trial and the first month for only $1 at Shopify now.
Interested in becoming an independent author too? I use Draft2Digital to distribute my ebooks. It’s run by, and for, self-publishing authors. If you would also like to support my work, you can sign up via this affiliate link (I would receive a portion of Draft2Digital’s distribution fee, so your revenue would not be affected).
Have you ever wondered what keywords would perform best for your book? Or what categories you should use for your book? This is something that I found to be super difficult, and time consuming to find out. Publisher Rocket tells you exactly what you need to use, and has amazing tools for checking out what your competitors are doing.
I use Bookvault to print and distribute my paperbacks and hardbacks in the UK and USA. They have a genuine passion for supporting independent authors, and I highly recommend them!
I also plan and market my books using StoryOrigin. Join via my affiliate link to support my work.
