Have you ever wanted to write a book but got totally lost in the complexities of trying to do it through traditional publishing channels? What if you could bring your manuscript to life, maintain full creative control, and keep more of the profits by self-publishing?

In this episode, I sit down with Michele DeFilippo, a publishing expert with over 50 years of experience, who shares her journey from traditional publishing to helping self-published authors create high-quality books that stand shoulder to shoulder with bestsellers. As Michele says, "Real self-publishing means you are in charge, you control your book, and you should get all the revenue." If you're ready to take control of your publishing journey, this episode is a must-listen!

We Also Talked About:

  • The major disruptions in the publishing industry and how Michele pivoted her business
  • The biggest mistakes self-published authors make and how to avoid them
  • The difference between self-publishing and working with a "publishing service"
  • How to ensure your book looks as professional as traditionally published bestsellers
  • The step-by-step process of getting a book from manuscript to finished product
  • The importance of book cover design and why it's more than just aesthetics
  • Why Amazon's print-on-demand model has changed the game for indie authors
  • The truth about book marketing and what authors need to know
