12.3 Self-Publishing Printing Options and Breaking Through to a Book in Hand

The emPowered Author: A Marketing Podcast for Nonfiction Authors

You're on the self-publishing journey, but what does that mean for printing? What options exist? And what is the difference between print-on-demand and offset printing; IngramSpark and Amazon's KDP? In the self-publishing space, this is very complicated for authors to grasp, oddly enough. It’s a journey I walk my clients through tie and time again, and it’s still a lot to understand. So today, I want to answer the questions you have to ensure your book becomes a book you hold!

My fourth book, Emergence: Living Lessons from the Soil, is the inspiration for this season. Learn more about our self-publishing support solution as well if you could use some support.

Marketing should emPower you, not be the bane of your existence. (I see you, author... and I know that you likely despise the word and all that comes with it!) You’ve found your one-stop-shop for marketing insights from an author who has been there, done that, and knows exactly what you need. The emPowered Author Podcast is the deep-dive, share all the good stuff marketing podcast for nonfiction authors who know the power of marketing and want innovative, out-of-the box strategies and tactics that are realistic, attainable and impactful. It's hosted by me, Stephanie Feger, who happens to be the author of several books and the owner and chief strategist of the emPower PR Group, a boutique marketing solution for nonfiction authors.
