Step 01

Preparing Your Book

Build a dependable foundation before committing to a launch date.

• Complete editing and a final proofread after layout changes.
• Check eBook navigation, chapter breaks and images on several screen sizes.
• Record what is ready and give unfinished tasks an owner and deadline.

• Write a description with a specific premise or practical scope.
• Use an accurate biography and test your website’s book links.

Step 03

Finding Your Readers

Start with reader interests and test your assumptions.

• Identify genre expectations and relevant comparable books.
