Publishing FAQ
Do you have questions on publishing costs or the pros and cons of self-publishing? We asked our industry experts and got the answers.
What is the average cost to self-publish?
The average cost to self-publish a book varies greatly. Costs involved in the self-publishing process depend on many factors, such as location and the amount you want to market. These common expenses are editing, cover design, formatting, and marketing.
Is self-publishing still worth it?
Self-publishing may not be right for every author. The pros of self-publishing a novel are ultimate creative control, the potential for higher royalty rates, and faster time to market—that's getting your book on the shelves in front of hungry readers. However, self-publishing is an upfront investment since you pay for editing, cover design, and marketing yourself.
Do you need an LLC to self-publish a book?
No, you do not need an LLC (limited liability company) to self-publish a book. Many authors self-publish under their own names without forming this type of business entity. The pros of creating an LLC for your novel are liability protection, potential tax advantages, and a more professional image. But this decision to form an LLC really depends on your goals.
