Self-Publishing on a Shoestring

by Frank Carey, Jo Carey

Overview

The dream of self-publishing your story can become a nightmare if the author-publisher isn't cognizant of the steps involved in the process and the potential costs associated with each step. These steps, though few in number, can add up to many dollars being spent, possibly needlessly, to execute them. It behooves the author-publisher to know their options and know when to use each one to ensure the production of a high-quality product at a reasonable price.

The process of self-publishing a book can be daunting, yet an estimated 1,000 or more titles are published each day. To stand out, author-publishers need to know the process involved in producing and publishing their works. The author-publisher who knows the process can better control it and the associated costs.

Yes, it's possible to publish a quality ebook or print book without spending a fortune.  You can learn what's required, but you have to be willing to do an honest assessment of your abilities. You'll have to decide where to invest time versus dollars. 

Jo and Frank Carey have published over 130 books in six years, all available worldwide in both electronic and paperback form, and they're excited to share their methodology with you. Every author is different, and every book is different, but the steps required to publish a book are the same. If you have a story to tell, then cost should not be a deterrent.

About the Author

Frank Carey has been formally writing and publishing works of science fiction since late 2013. Over the years prior, he had dabbled in various forms of writing including haiku poetry, but that all changed when he and his wife, Jo, decided to try their hand at writing and self-publishing. Since then, he has written and published a collection of flash fiction and short stories, two anthologies, a pentalogy, and a trilogy. All his work, to date, has been in the science fiction genre.

Most of his stories take place about two centuries in the future when Earth joins the League of Planetary Systems. Many of his protagonists are strong females. He is an inveterate pantser who believes the story will go where the story wants to go.

Frank’s background includes degrees in physics and extensive work as a scientific programmer and technologist.

Jo Carey grew up in the Midwest but her curiosity and gypsy-spirit has kept her on the move. She's lived in eight US states and spent three years living in Ireland. She has always loved creature movies, so creatures and bugs often show up in her books.

Jo, a former information security compliance guru, writes fast-paced, character-driven stories in a variety of genres from medical thrillers to space operas and cozy mysteries. Her novels are filled with humor, romance, and sometimes creatures or aliens, or maybe even all of the above. She often builds her stories around a strong female lead character surrounded by plenty of hunky male heroes.

Jo's been under fire on a golf course and climbed out the roof of an elevator in the Netherlands. Life hasn't been boring. Now residing in Texas, setting often plays a huge role in her stories. Jo was intrigued by the League of Planetary Systems, a world her husband, Frank, created for his science fiction books, and she now writes mysteries and other types of tales sets in that world. Jo was bitten by a cat, a fire ant, and a snake, before succumbing to the bite of the writing bug.
