This thorough guide is pure gold for any author wanting to jump into the Indie waters, but who has no idea where to start. Written in a conversational, easy to understand style, Drozdowich works through the whole process of publishing your own book, breaking it down into logical, easily achievable steps--plus (very helpfully!) takes the time to define terms that get thrown around in the writing world that can be confusing to newbies. Indie authors with a few books under their belts will find nuggets too. The book might not contain a lot of completely new-to-them information, but they'll no doubt appreciate the refresher and value having such good information all in one place, both for themselves and to refer other authors to. As Drozdowich says in her introduction, There is no one way to publish a book ; this informative little treasure will help you find the right way to publish yours. - Ev Bishop, Author of the popular River's Sigh B & B series An in-depth, perfect guide for every beginning author - a must read!
