Question 2

What is a Self-Publishing Coach?

Accepted Answer

A self-publishing coach guides, leads, teaches, and implements the processes of self-publishing a book. Since you don’t know what you don’t know, a good self-publishing coach can help save your money, time, and frustration of making common and costly mistakes. A good coach will save you more than the amount you paid. They hire subcontractors such as editors, book cover designers, and more; those of who are professional and affordably priced. Self-Publishing without a coach can be a long and involved process as the knowledge required to self-publish a book professionally, is equivalent to at least an AA degree.

Question 3

What Does a Self-Publishing Coach Do?

Accepted Answer

A self-publishing coach takes on the responsibility to professionally publish and make your book or creative works available for sale through distribution networks. A self-publishing coach takes on or leads in the supervision of the design and layout of the book and book cover, the interior design to include the front and back matter, and setting up the title and copyright pages, as well as helping the client to solicit book reviews. A good self-publishing coach monitors all the various tasks in proper order, on budget, and on time.

Question 4

What is Involved in Self-Publishing?

Accepted Answer

Self-publishing is an intense creative project. You may expect it to take at least 3 months to a year. This depends on many factors. Once you have written a book, you will next need to structure your book. This has to do with writing the front and back matter, such as Table of Contents, title page, preface, dedication, acknowledgments, index, resources just to name a very few. So before proceeding to publish, decide on and create these pieces. Then, the size of the book, number of pages, the general format of the interior need to be selected before choosing a printer. Another task necessary is editing, which likely needs to be hired professionally. Writers are not good at editing their own work. Having seen the work too long, they develop a certain blindness to errors. Finally, selecting a printer, proofreader, and choosing a distribution network are a few of the major tasks that need to be done.

Do you charge any fees?

Accepted Answer

The Vision to Fruition Publishing House is a Hybrid Publisher. We follow the same model of traditional publishing except the author is the one to assume the financial responsibility for the publication of their manuscript. We do not pay our authors an advance however we do charge our authors a fee for our publishing services. The author pays for the editing, production, marketing, sales, distribution, and wholesale costs BUT, the publisher does all the work.

Question 13

What Are the Advantages of Self Publishing?

Accepted Answer

Self-publishing helps writers avoid the manuscript rejection process. This is a top benefit, considering it can take years to find a publisher, and in most cases, works still go unpublished! Another great advantage of self-publishing over traditional publishing is the full creative control. With a traditional publisher, they dictate changes and corrections, which can cause a project to veer from the initial intent, your basic messaging, and inspiration. Finally, the greatest advantage is that writers retain 100% of their rights and royalties!
