Self Publishing Books for Teachers: Everything to Know
I’m working on a series of posts on everything you need to know about self publishing. My experience is in education so much of what I write will be best for teachers or non-fiction.

What can you do yourself and what are the advantages of hiring a professional editor or book designer? What should you expect when hiring a professional and how can you spot scams? Do you

How to Get a Good Cover for Your Self-Published Book
Cover design is an area that many self-publishers struggle with. Designing an effective cover is an art that takes skill and knowledge.

How to Find a Marketable Idea for Your Self-Published Book
In this post I’ll talk about finding a marketable idea for self-publishing. It’s nice to put your teaching materials out there, but how do you know what your potential customers want? What’s the difference between a teaching book that is marketable and one that isn’t, particularly in the education market? What types of self-published books sell the best? Why are you self-publishing? Many people self-publish because they want complete creative control over their project.
