    Self-publishing can be an affordable, fast, and profitable way for authors to bring their work to market. It can also be a source of expense and frustration. Successful self-publishing requires the author to manage all the functions managed by a publisher. In this course you'll learn how to make the decision whether to self-publish. You'll also learn how to find and hire a freelance publishing team, how to turn your finished manuscript into a high-quality e-books, paperback, or audiobook editions. Finally, we'll cover effective pricing strategies and promotional strategies for the self-published author.
