Great! You have a finished book that fills you with pride and you’re bursting to get out there and show off to everyone and sundry. But you also want to get it on to bookshelves and online so that you can sell it. The final step in the publishing process.
While major publishing companies can deliver distribution via major retail bookshop outlets, there are many other avenues available to the independent self-publisher.
Social media (Facebook and Instagram, Linkedin etc) and online publishing companies like Amazon (On- demand/Kindle)provide the ideal avenue for free and paid promotion of a new release.
Because you are in control of your own distribution it enables innovative ideas to be introduced. One of my clients put on morning teas at libraries around the State and charged an admission fee for those attending that covered the price of the book, a talk by her on the book and tea and biscuits.
If you get a bit creative and think outside the square, there are so many different ways you can get your story out there to the public at large.
