Description
So you wrote a book. Now what?
DIY & Die Happy is the self-publishing guide that started as a café speech, spiraled into 25,000+ words, and refused to stop growing. Written by an indie author with five books under his belt and zero patience for vague advice, this guide walks you through every stage of publishing on your own terms.
You’ll learn how to edit without losing your mind, design covers that actually sell, format for print and digital, choose the right platforms, price strategically, and launch with a plan that doesn’t rely on hope and prayers. There’s also a full chapter on getting reviews that don’t suck, building an author platform from scratch, and keeping your sanity intact when the whole operation runs on caffeine and stubbornness.
This isn’t a get-rich-quick manual. It’s a honest, opinionated, and occasionally self-deprecating walkthrough of everything the author wishes someone had handed him before he published his first book. Whether you’re about to release your debut or finally turning that dusty manuscript into something real, this guide meets you where you are and doesn’t pretend the road is easy.
Includes a full toolbox chapter covering editors, designers, formatters, promo services, and platforms worth your time and money.
