Almost Done Writing: Now What? A Guided Workbook for Self-Publishing Authors (Nonfiction) by Andrea Schmidt

LONDON, ONT. – In today’s economic climate, it’s tricky (if not impossible) to find a publisher willing to take on the financial risk required to publish the work of an unknown author. 

Book designer and author Andrea Schmidt has created a tool to guide nonfiction authors through the maze of self-publishing decisions. Almost Done Writing: Now What? A Guided Workbook for Self-Publishing Authors (Nonfiction) offers a solution to obstacles such as: finding the perfect book title, getting an amazing book cover design, how to launch a book, book marketing tips, and more. 

Even authors who have been traditionally published are now sometimes choosing to switch to self-publishing because of benefits such as being able to promote their business more overtly, and having more input on the editorial and production decisions. 

“The stigma, still attached to self-publishing, is quickly fading as more people release books of higher quality. Put it this way, when a book is amazing, no one cares how it was published. The most important thing to remember when you commit to self-publishing is to be kind to yourself. Your knowledge and confidence will grow with every book you release. Make sure to do your research when hiring service providers." 
–Andrea Schmidt

This book is for self-employed entrepreneurs (such as coaches) who want to publish a book to boost professional credibility and attract clients. 

Almost Done Writing: Now What? A Guided Workbook for Self-Publishing Authors (Nonfiction) is currently available for pre-sale on Amazon with an official launch date of Tuesday, July 13.
