#39 - Michele DeFilippo - Publishing Your Own Book Without Getting Ripped Off

05/10/24 • 18 min

Michele has been in book publishing for over 50 years, and is currently running an independent publishing house that does everything traditional publishers do "a la carte". She warns us about the danger of hybrid publishers and how writers get ripped off by paying fees in advance, and then also paying a chunk of their royalties if (or when) copies of their book are sold.

In this episode we also cover the entire process from beginning to end, with editing, publishing, promotion, and distribution. Everything you need to know to publish your own book, whether it's a new career or a PR stunt.
